Some private landlords treat tenants as a nuisance. A sitting tenant can get in the way of a quick deal or reduce the value of a property on which the landlord is hoping to make a quick buck. Thanos Papalexis found himself in this situation when Charalambos...
This is just a quick and slightly tetchy admin post, for the benefit of (some) of those who subscribe to Nearly Legal posts by email. Anyone else can look away now... I've had a few mails from people recently asking questions that made me realise that some...
As our archive has grown, I've tried a few ways to make it easier to find what people may be looking for. I brought in tags for posts, which should bring up other posts with similar issues (always assuming we've been consistent in the tags we use) and I've...
Our non-lawyer/law student readers, or even non-barrister readers, might have to forgive us for this for this Naughty Step, but it was too good to resist, particularly for those of us - i.e. me - still newly qualified enough to harbour memories of their...

The London Legal Support Trust annual sponsored walk takes place on 18 May 2009, at 5.30pm. Members of the judiciary, as well as solicitors, barristers and ILEX members engage in a leisurely stroll around London in order to raise money for legal charities...
In the continuing absence of anything like actual case law, here are some news items and catch up bits on previous stories. The Government has announced the availability of its Homeowner Mortgage Support Scheme. This is available for those with mortgages up...
The CAB in Wales appears to have branched out into inadvertent wealth re-distribution, allegedly by way and end of Dale and Sally Foster now on trial at Swansea County Court. The Fosters ran the CAB office at Ammanford, Carmarthenshire, together. In fact,...
