Autumn Training Day – Summary Possession Orders – Current Practical & Legal Issues
11th Nov 2015
The ability to apply to the Court for a summary order for possession pursuant to CPR Part 55 against “persons unknown” is a well-known and established procedure. It is intended to provide a quick and easy scheme for a landowner to recover possession of property from unwanted and unauthorised occupiers. Nevertheless, the urgent circumstances in which such orders have often been obtained may not have been the best of contexts for the development of a clear and consistent body of jurisprudence or guidance on this important summary procedureRead article -

Bristol Seminar – Tenant’s Pre-emption Rights & Mixed Use Developments
17th Sep 2015
Much like London buses, cases on particular property law issues often come in clusters.

Leeds Seminar - Issues arising with mixed use premises
28th Mar 2015
Mixed use is most certainly in vogue. We constantly read about new gleaming mixed use developments where developers have residential properties usually situated above offices, shops, restaurants or even hotels. In many respects this is nothing new and is a return to the pre Victorian way we lived.
