Disrepair Improvement Group – 25.02.27

This will be the virtual meeting of Disrepair Improvement Group which is taking place on Thursday 25 February between 10am – 12pm.

This session will be led by Tristan Hemsley, specialist in HHSRS, Damp and Mould, Awaab’s Law and Building Safety.

We are delighted to announce the following speakers:

• Conor Turley, Associate, Bevan Brittan LLP. Conor will explore the significant Stonewater v Harris injunction judgment, in which Bevan Brittan acted on behalf of Stonewater. The judgment represents an important development for social landlords, confirming the Court’s power to grant forced entry provisions where access injunctions have not been complied with. Conor will examine the legal implications of the decision, what it means for landlords seeking access to carry out essential inspections and repairs and the practical considerations and safeguards organisations need to understand when pursuing access injunctions.
• Robert Panou, Director of Asset Strategy and Investment, Stonewater. Robert will provide the landlord perspective, sharing Stonewater’s experience and involvement in the case. His contribution will explore the practical challenges of securing access to properties, the considerations involved in pursuing legal action and the lessons learned from the case that could help other social housing organisations facing similar challenges.

We will be announcing the final speaker shortly!
