NLJ this week: Evictions ahead

Possession returns. ‘The 23 August 2020 is the day that enforcement agents awake from their slumber,’ former District Judge Stephen Gold, NLJ columnist, writes in this week’s Civil Way

‘It is the day on which the stay of possession proceedings and execution of possession orders is lifted.’ While the stay on enforcement against business premises continues until 30 September, many residential tenants may find themselves battling eviction notices this month.

Gold looks into the details of new amendment rules and practice directions coming into effect and the hurdles to clear before getting your case heard.
