Court Duty: A Reference Guide to Defending Tenants in the Possession Lists by Daniel Bacon will be a comprehensive but easy-reference guide to the defences that may be available to common possession proceedings encountered on Court Duty, with references to legislation, case law and CPR provisions. It will also deal with matters of the court’s discretion and addresses other matters that always arise but can sometimes seem remote or opaque – such as the applicability of the fixed costs regime, the exceptional hardship test, and calculating deemed dates of service.
Developed from the notes the author uses in his own Court Duty practice, this guide is designed to maximise utility when time is short but thoroughness is still required.
Designed for the often-junior solicitors who carry out Court Duty, it is hoped that this guide will be of assistance to all duty advisers, the court itself, and even, perhaps, those acting for the claimants!
