Housing Law:
The Welsh Devolution Effect
1st May 2014
Cardiff Law School, Museum Avenue, Cardiff, CF10 3AX
A one day conference run by the University of Bristol Law School, Anthony Gold, and Arden Chambers examining the two major housing Bills in Wales, the Housing (Wales) Bill and the Renting Homes (Wales) Bill.
The Welsh Government is carrying through a substantial legislative programme reforming all aspects of housing and tenancy rights and responsibilities. These significant changes will ultimately lead to an effective separation of Wales from England in housing and tenancy law. This conference brings together leading housing and landlord & tenant lawyers with some of the architects of the new legislation to offer a review of the planned changes and the future of Welsh housing law.
