Who needs a banker?

Watch for the brown envelopes. A litigant in person who is involved in proceedings at the Royal Courts of Justice and does not run a current account may pay in cash at the Mayor’s and City Court as from 1 April 2010 (the Court Funds (Amendment) Rules 2010 (SI 2010/172)).

Exchange JS for Pt 8

A social landlord’s decision on a tenant’s request for consent to an exchange of residences is susceptible to judicial review. But where the Landlord and Tenant Act 1988, s 1 regime applied, any claim arising out of a decision to refuse permission to exchange (or assign) or to grant subject to conditions should normally be brought by ordinary claim (R (on the application of McIntyre and another) v Gentoo Group Ltd [2010] EWHC5 (Admin), [2010] All ER (D) 1 (Jan)).
