Dealing with homelessness appeals

Focussing on section 204 and section 204A appeals in the county court, Catherine Rowlands, Andy Lane, Tara O'Leary and Rowan Clapp look at those appeals through the lens of the local authority respondent.

Catherine, Andy, Tara and Rowan answer: What are the common pitfalls? What can be done to improve the prospects of success? Are witness statements of any use? What are the settlement options? How are the courts handling the challenges of homelessness and accommodation during the pandemic?
