I have been told that there must be an end of year round up for the blog. But, before I get to the figures, here is a soundtrack. NL, it has to be said, seems to be prospering in bad times (not that we make any money from it, not at all. The reverse in...
Durrant v Avon & Somerset Constabulary [2013] EWCA Civ 1624 This is not housing law, not even close, but is an important decision on procedure that follows on from Mitchell v News Group Newspapers. We covered that decision (see For Whom the Bell Tolls)....
[Caution, this post contains asterisks and interior design] The 'guest post request' spam continues to flood in (see here and here). 6 or 7 a day. Usually it goes straight into the trash but sometimes... Hello, I would love to send you an article with...

We have previously commented (fairly negatively!) on the plans to introduce compulsory membership of redress schemes for lettings and property management agency work which appeared at the last minute in the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013. Slightly...
The First Tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) is a grand title but suffers the fatal flaw of lacking a suitable three letter abbreviation (recursively, a TLA). Unlike LVT, there is no easy way to refer to the new Chamber, at least not without gabbling and/or...
The Government has today published the Immigration Bill in the Commons. We have previously commented on this planned bill and we had been hoping that it might be quietly shelved or downgraded. However that appears not to be the case. From our point of view...
I wonder if I could beg your indulgence while I ride a small hobby-horse of my own. As well as being a (sadly occasional) blogger here at NL, I have other hats. One of those hats is as a champion of open data and in that capacity I sit on a body known as the...
