Property Patter: What can the property world expect from Parliament and the courts in 2022?

In our first episode of Property Patter for 2022, Emma Humphreys and Laura Bushaway are joined by Guy Fetherstonhaugh QC and Michael Ranson of Falcon Chambers to look at what’s ahead in the world of property law during this year – including Parliament’s plans for addressing outstanding covid arrears, expert evidence in pandemic lease renewals and some thorny issues to be examined when it comes to residential service charges.  We also consider how cases on the Electronic Communications Code are evolving and whether the upcoming Supreme Court appeals might lead to less litigation going forward.     Additional resources: Bank of New York Mellon (International) Ltd v.
