This book is not a legal textbook in the conventional sense as that already exists in an excellent work by HHJ Luba KC, Catherine O'Donnell, and Giles Peaker. This work concentrates exclusively on how to litigate housing conditions cases successfully so as to achieve the best result for the tenant in the shortest reasonable timescale. In all areas of practice, efficient and cost-effective conduct of litigation is essential. This work aims to achieve that important objective.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the title of the book suggests, it is aimed at solicitors, barristers and surveyors - the main professionals involved in this area of practice. It deals with many, if not all, of the areas likely to be encountered on a daily basis in housing conditions cases, and answers many of the questions frequently asked about day-to-day conduct. It is essential reading for those practising in this very important area of the law, and should make the work involved a lot more straightforward for both experienced professionals, as well as newcomers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE AUTHOR\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDavid Bennett is a senior barrister and head of chambers at Liverpool Civil Law, 1 Old Hall Street, Liverpool.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuring his long career at the Bar he has practised in many different areas of law, including housing conditions litigation, but for the last 10 years he has concentrated solely on housing conditions work in which he has a very busy practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHis decision to write this practical guide was motivated by two factors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst, he considers this to be a very important area of law in which the lay clients are heavily reliant on the expertise of all the professionals concerned, namely solicitors, barristers and surveyors. In many cases the lives of tenants and their families are often badly affected by their housing conditions, causing discomfort, inconvenience, frustration, and not infrequently ill-health. He regards the work therefore as very important, and for many tenants, life changing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSecondly, he has acquired a great deal of knowledge and expertise in housing conditions work over many years and feels that he needs to pass on this expertise to the relevant professionals - some of whom may be new to this area of law, so that the work done at all levels by the experts involved, is of the highest quality to ensure the best result for the lay client.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCONTENTS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePART ONE - THE WORK OF THE SOLICITOR\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Correct Parties\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaking Instructions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Correspondence Phase\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePre-Action Disclosure \/ Subject Access Request\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse of the Landlord's Internal Complaints Procedure\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Landlord's Obligations Under the Protocol\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Requirement for the Tenant to Provide Access to the Landlord\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePersonal Injury\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Protocol Requirements for Personal Injury Claims\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLimitation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHuman Rights\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJudgement in Default\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBreach Proceedings\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstructing a Surveyor\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstructing Counsel\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePART TWO - COUNSEL\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Role of Counsel\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOther Points Commonly Raised in the Defence\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAllocation Hearings\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBirmingham City Council v Avril Lee [2008] EWCA Civ 891\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDamages\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePART THREE - SURVEYORS\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Function of the Surveyor in Housing Conditions Cases\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePART FOUR - MISCELLANEOUS\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Housing Ombudsman Service\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConclusion\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 118\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.25 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 25, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50874101662002,"sku":"9781914608926","price":93.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0961\/1608\/0946\/files\/ny8G5l4juT9781914608926.webp?v=1769601760","url":"https:\/\/deskinlawfirm.com\/products\/housing-conditions-claims-on-behalf-of-social-housing-tenants-a-practical-guide-for-solicitors-barristers-and-surveyors-paperback","provider":"DLF Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
