Suspended possession reversal; cornet holder catch up; boost for gamblers; tax penalty escape.

ALL CHANGE

Tighten your seatbelts for the 99th CPR update which is likely to introduce revisions operative as from 10 September 2018 and reflect amendment rules which will come into force on 1 October 2018. Expect that, following public consultation, there will be a reversal of Cardiff County Court v Lee (Flowers) [2016] EWCA 1034 (see ‘Civil way’, 166 NLJ 7721, p17) which will have given CPR 83.2(3)(e) just two years of fame. The current requirement for the obtaining of permission for the issue of a county court warrant of possession on the breach of a suspended order is set to go. Postponed orders for possession could well reshow their smiling faces before housing officers (or whatever they may be called by the time they get to court) have had an opportunity of celebrating with one of Professor Dominic Regan’s recommended bottle bargains.
