Civil Procedure Rules Update
The 42nd Update to the Civil Procedure Rules introduces changes in a number of areas, including:
- PD55 is amended to provide a procedure for and formalise the making of "postponed possession orders" along the lines suggested by the Court of Appeal in its recent judgment in Hassan. There is a new Order - the N28A.
- A new Pre-Action Protocol for Claims Based on Rent Arrears is created.
The above come into force on 2 October 2006.
Shelter Campaigns Against Eviction
Homelessness charity Shelter launched a national press advertising campaign to highlight that for the 135,000 households who face the threat of homelessness in real-life, eviction is no game show. The advertisements show that living in the shadow of eviction means insecurity and misery for thousands of families and children.
The publicity drive is the latest phase of Shelter's Million Children Campaign, which aims to get the Government to end bad housing for the next generation of children.
Adam Sampson, director of Shelter, said: "Living under the shadow of eviction is just one part of the grim reality of bad housing faced by more than one million children in Britain - robbing them of their health, education and future chances."
