Book Synopsis A Practical Guide to Responding to Housing Disrepair and Unfitness Claims by : Iain Wightwick
Download or read book A Practical Guide to Responding to Housing Disrepair and Unfitness Claims written by Iain Wightwick and published by . This book was released on 2021-11-05 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disrepair (or more properly "housing conditions") claims are on the rise. This book should be helpful to those receiving and responding to them. Such claims increased by 44% between 2012 and 2017 in England and Wales and they have continued to proliferate. In those five years Southwark LBC paid out about £10,000,000 in damages and costs. Sheffield City Council has disclosed that it has spent more than £1 million fighting disrepair claims within the last 2 1/2 years. There has been a 322% increase in cases, which they blame on claims management companies using "aggressive marketing tactics" to attract tenants who are unhappy about the state of their homes during the pandemic. That has been greatly exacerbated by the inability on the part of all landlords to do repairs other than urgent works. Housing conditions claims are not just wasteful in terms of officer time and finances. They can be very stressful for those involved, particularly where landlords face large numbers of claims and their staff are already busy planning and carrying out repairs, maintenance and improvements. I anticipate that all landlords would prefer to direct their resources to repairs rather than legal fees. The book is more about the strategies needed to deal with disrepair litigation rather than the substantive law. If you are a tenant's representative, I hope that the book will help you to weed out good claims from the many which are at present gratuitously and unnecessarily issued. Fortunately, the Court of Appeal has just handed down a very helpful decision on an application for permission to appeal. In Hockett v Bristol City Council (2021) unreported, Ref: B2/2021/1025, Lord Justice Bean agreed with the approach which I conceived a number of years ago, and which has been approved of by many judges in the County Court. I hope that the application of that philosophy to disrepair claims will dramatically reduce the legal bills currently being paid by social landlords. Many of the complaints which tenants are making about housing conditions should never have involved lawyers. You'll need to buy the book to find out more about it though! The book also addresses how to respond to a disrepair claim in the event that ADR is not appropriate or fails to appease the tenant.

Book Synopsis State of Disrepair by : Kori N. Schake
Download or read book State of Disrepair written by Kori N. Schake and published by Hoover Press. This book was released on 2013-09-01 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kori Schake shows how the deficiencies in focus, education, and programmatic proficiency impede the work of the State Department and suggests how investing in those areas could make the agency significantly more successful at building stable and prosperous democratic governments around the world. She explains why, instead of burdening the US military with yet another inherently civilian function, work should focus on bringing those agencies of the government whose job it is to provide development assistance up to the standard of success that our military has achieved. Schake presents a vision of what a successful State Department should look like and seeks to build support for creating it—a State Department that makes possible the projection of US civilian power as well as US military force.

Book Synopsis Review of Civil Litigation Costs by : Great Britain. Ministry of Justice
Download or read book Review of Civil Litigation Costs written by Great Britain. Ministry of Justice and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2010 with total page 588 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lord Justice Jackson was required: to review the rules and principles governing the costs of civil litigation and to make recommendations in order to promote access to justice at proportionate cost; to review case management procedures; to have regard to research into costs and funding; to consult widely; to compare our costs regime with those of other jurisdictions; and to prepare a report setting out recommendations with supporting evidence by 31st December 2009. A preliminary report was issued in May 2009 and is also published alongside this final report (ISBN 9780117064034). Major recommendations cover: conditional fee agreements, of which "no win, no fee" agreements are the most common species, and which have been the major contributor to disproportionate costs; success fees and ATE (after-the-event) insurance premiums should cease to be recoverable from unsuccessful opponents in civil litigation; success fees should come out of the damages awarded to the client; awards of general damages should be increased by 10 per cent, and the maximum amount of damages that lawyers may deduct for success fees be capped at 25 per cent of damages; lawyers should not be permitted to pay referral fees in respect of personal injury cases; qualified one way costs shifting, taking away the need for ATE insurance; fixed costs in fast track litigation; establishment of a Costs Council. Other sections of the report deal with: other funding issues; personal injuries litigation; some specific types of litigation; and controlling the costs - including pre-action protocols, greater use of alternative dispute resolution (ADR), disclosure, case and costs management by the judiciary.

They are also actively involved in carrying out research and consultancy for a number of property owning organisations throughout the UK.
