Zoom in on possession with Falcon Chambers

Falcon Chambers’ next weekly free of charge ‘zoominar’ will focus on possession

The eighth in the ‘Falcon Chambers Zoominar Series’ takes place 9 June, 2pm via Zoom, with barristers Julia Petrenko and Thomas Rothwell.

They will discuss the new Practice Direction 51Z, looking at which possession proceedings are stayed and which are not, as well as the topic of injunctions as an alternative to possession orders during the COVID-19 crisis, in light of University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust v MB.   

They will also cover the recent appellate decisions in Arkin v Marshall and London Borough of Hackney v Okoro on the scope of the general stay and the court’s powers to lift it in exceptional circumstances.

Advance registration is required and numbers will be limited. To register your place or for further information, contact Candi@Falcon-Chambers.com.
