Wishing you the very best with this Mark. There are, as we have found, a number of Landlords out there who would clearly benefit from your considerable knowledge. Your advice gave us the confidence to proceed with a litigation against...

Reply to the comment left by "Ben Reeve-Lewis" at "20/08/2013 - 11:31": Interesting article Ben, especially as the case dates back to 1963 yet no statute exists to stop the practice. The suggestion by Arden - that protection under section...
