  • How to Track A Case

    From Jeff Gaines@21:1/5 to All on Thu Feb 1 15:38:49 2024
    I need to track the following:

    A decision of the Divisional Court of the High Court, Taber v MacDonald
    and Clockscreen Holdings Ltd (1999) 31 Housing Law Reports73, at page 78.

    Google managed to find the Housing Law Reports at about £2,300 but nothing
    else turned up and https://www.bailii.org/ doesn't turn anything up. It's
    about what supporting documents a landlord needs to provide in respect of service fees in a leased property.

    I went to the County Court a couple of days ago to try and get a case transferred to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber). The judge said
    the case couldn't be transferred but she would issue a stay and give me a
    month to make an application to the FTT (very stern about that) so I'm hustling!

    Any advice appreciated :-)

    You just need to find a library that has Housing Law Reports in stock.
    Or subscribe to an online service.

    The libraries of universities with law departments allow access by
    external users which might be ok if they have a physical subscription
    to the service required, not if they have an online subscription thats
    only accessible by registered students and accademics.

    Just to thank you for all the replies so far, I will follow them up.

    The case in question relates to how much information a landlord has to
    provide in response to a request for supporting documents under S22 of the Landlord & Tenant Act 1985. I am a step behind that because my landlord
    has refused to allow me the facility to inspect the supporting documents
    and the only remedy is to persuade the local authorities to prosecute but
    (a) they have other things to do and (b) that still doesn't get you the documents.

    It's dreadful legislation, in force for nearly 40 years and no record of
    any proceedings against a landlord probably because it's a waste of time
    and the only case law the one I am searching for.
