To those not acquainted with housing law, Ground 8 is one of the mandatory grounds for possession of an assured tenancy listed in Housing Act 1988 Schedule 2. It forms one of the major differences between an assured tenancy (typically Housing...
Unlike Charon QC or even Geeklawyer, I have been away doing the christmas necessaries, and actually very pleasant they were too. On my return today, I find that to my surprise and delight, I have received a Blawg Review Award for 2006. Hurrah and...
With thanks to Charon QC for the link, an utterly unseasonal opportunity for schadenfreude (assuming it is genuine) is here, courtesy of Liadnan. Normally, those of us in legal aid housing law can be expected to be sympathetic to tales of sudden...
A fairly abstruse discussion after the recent fun and games, but, to someone like me who was intrigued and amused while studying equity, an enjoyable one. A recent case involved the client's equitable interest in an ex-council house, formally...

The Law Society's 'what price justice' campaign hits a snag when solicitors are banned from wearing these small, well designed and unobtrusive badges in Magistrates' Court Actually, on closer inspection, it turns out to be a great PR opportunity...
