In the first of 2 webinars discussing dangerous cladding, Jonathan Pennington Legh, Sarah Salmon and Alexander Campbell of the Field Court Housing Team consider the practical issues affecting property owners, managers and lawyers advising tenants and landlords and who is liable.

In this free webinar, Nikolas Clarke, Max Lansman and Ryan Anderson consider practical and legal issues concerning pay structures and contractual arrangements, what employers now need to do to ensure compliance with national minimum wage legislation, changes social care providers and local authorities might need to think about and ongoing areas of uncertainty.

The discussion will cover what legal challenges are likely to be coming through the pipeline, and how businesses can prepare themselves. It will also look at comparative aspects and the wider impact of the judgment as jurisdictions around the world grapple with the implications of the growing gig economy.   

This webinar will look at the responsibilities of local authorities to help children and young people secure settled or pre-settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme.

This webinar will focus on issues to consider when people who need to make an EU Settlement Scheme application lack (or may lack) the mental capacity to apply for themselves.

As well as providing an overview of the EU Settlement scheme, and helping you to identify the people who need to apply, this session will outline local authorities’ duties to support young people and vulnerable adults to apply, and provide an update following recent changes to the immigration rules.

This webinar will help you support young people to gather the evidence  they need for EU settlement scheme applications, including evidence of ID and nationality, residence in the UK, and, where necessary, family relationships. We will concentrate, in particular, on alternative forms of evidence that can be used in difficult cases.

Eleanor Sibley, together with the AIRE Centre and Centrepoint, will deliver a free training webinar on the EU Settlement scheme for frontline workers.

With landlord and tenant proceedings halted for 6 months, concessions will have been informally agreed in haste during lockdown. With restrictions on proceedings due to be lifted, the fallout from these changes and agreements will become a pressing issue. In this webinar, David Brounger, Miriam Shalom and Emma Godfrey discuss some of the practicalities for commercial landlords.

Legislative changes to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic have affected landlords' ability to recover rent and other sums under commercial lease agreements. Jonathan Pennington Legh, Sarah Salmon and Alistair Cantor discuss ways forward for commercial landlords now those restrictions have been lifted.

Eleanor Sibley and Anna Dannreuther consider who can apply for EU settlement and pre-settlement, consequences of getting or failing to secure status, and the steps local authorities should take to support looked after children, care leavers and vulnerable adults to apply for EU settlement or pre-settlement by the deadline of 30 June 2021.

Join Mark Baumohl, Sarah Salmon and Christopher McCarthy for an update on notice requirements, existing, issued and pending possession claims in the county court.

Mark Baumohl and Christopher McCarthy discuss the Covid-19 pandemic's impact on housing law and what advisers should consider going forward. They will focus particularly on recent case law and possible future battlegrounds in possession claims and homelessness cases - developments during lockdown and likely arguments to arise post lockdown.

Possession proceedings are due to be back in the courts from 24 August after a long stay during lockdown. What steps should landlords and their lawyers be taking now to prepare for possession claims to be resumed?

Sarah Salmon and Christopher McCarthy consider the impact that lockdown has had on possession claims. Shelter reports that nearly 230,000 renters are at risk of ‘Covid-eviction’ once the stay on possession proceedings is lifted next month. Additionally, applications for injunctions due to anti-social behaviour by local authorities and registered providers have increased since April.

Many rough sleepers have been accommodated during the Covid-19 pandemic. This webinar will cover the interaction between the policy to house rough sleepers and a local authority’s legal obligations, priority need and Covid-19 and recent case law. 

The COVID-19 emergency and lockdown has affected us all. It has led to extreme measures from Government relating to landlords and tenants, most notably the stay on possession proceedings. But the obligations owed (by both landlords and tenants) relating to the state of repair in the property remain.
