Claims for unlawful eviction and associated harassment can be complex and often require careful management, particularly in the early stages. Urgent relief is often necessary to ensure a client is accommodated and his or her belongings safeguarded.
The second edition of this practical guide is aimed at lawyers and lay-persons alike and provides a detailed but concise guide to managing litigation in this highly specialised field. This edition includes updates on the interrelationship between the covenants for quiet enjoyment and non-derogation from grant as well as Rent Repayment Orders and Banning Orders; the calculation of general damages for trespass in the light of Smith v Khan; the procedure for claims, injunctions and committal proceedings; and the progress of the review of damages-based agreements.
