In September this year, we were approached by X who sought our advice after her landlord issued possession proceedings against her in her local County Court.
The client is a mother of two children and requires the use of a wheelchair. She resides in temporary accommodation provided in pursuant of a council’s main housing duty. The property is located out of borough.
We represented a young adult of good character who had been charged with assaulting an emergency worker. It was the Crown’s case that in an attempt to get away from the police, our client deliberately struck a police officer causing them to fall and hit their head on the ground.
On 26 September our directors, Melanie Krudy and Greg Stewart, were very pleased to be able to attend the Film Premiere of ‘Before You Commit’, an award winning film made by Khadys Dream hosted at the Curzon Bloomsbury.
We settled this case only days before trial for our very vulnerable client, obtaining a higher level of damages than counsel expected.
CJ moved into a private-rented sector property as a tenant in 1991 and paid a deposit. Ownership of the property changed and her subsequent landlord requested a further deposit which CJ paid.
