Seminar: Stemming the tide - the impact of the pre-action protocol for mortgage arrears possession proceedings

Social landlords have been required to comply with a pre-action protocol in rent arrears possession cases since October 2006; the result has been a drop in the number of Court claims for possession issued. With effect from November 2008 a similar, ground-breaking protocol applies to mortgage arrears possession claims.

• Detailed consideration of the pre-action protocol
• Mortgage Conduct of Business Rules
