We assist in defending claims for Rent Repayment Orders and alleged legislative breaches attracting criminal liability, including under the Housing Act 2004 and the HMO Regulations. Our assistance at the investigation stage includes advising on and challenging civil penalties. We provide specialist advocacy at the First-tier Tribunal and Upper Tribunal, as well as at the Magistrates’ court and all appeal courts. We have a particular specialism in HMO work. One of our team members is the author of a specialist legal textbook in this area. We have also been involved in key precedent cases.
