NLJ this week: Possession, priority listing

This week DDJ Stephen Gold looks at pandemic-inspired insolvency measures and untangles the often-changing rules on possession, in his Civil way column

He covers priority listing of possession cases, and other changes. Local authorities should not treat a tenant who signs a consent order or agrees to a possession as intentionally homeless.

Restrictions on winding up petitions have been extended all the way to the end of the year, while businesses have been given extra protection against eviction.

Gold shines a light on these and other matters here.
