4 Included within those topics will be Information about: - liability - the quantification of damages (general and special) - orders for specific performance of repair covenants - evidence-gathering - settling claims 4
5 Repairing obligations (1) Express terms: good condition and repair?

6 Repairing obligations (2) Extent of s.11: Quick v Taff Ely BC [1986] QB 809, CA Irvine v Moran [1991] 1 EGLR 261 Southwark LBC v McIntosh [2002] 1 EGLR 25 Grand v Gill [2011] 1 WLR 2253 Edwards v Kumarasamy [2015] EWCA Civ 20 6

9 Miscellaneous obligations (2) Making good decorative damage following repairs: McGreal v Wake (1984) 13 HLR 107 Ensuring property in landlord s control does not damage demised premises Tenant s duty to act in tenant-like manner: s.11(2)(a) LTA85 9
10 Damages Compensating for discomfort and inconvenience Wallace v Manchester City Council (1998) 34 HLR 1111 English Churches Housing Group v Shine [2004] EWCA Civ 434; [2004] HLR 42 Simmons v Castle [2012] EWCA Civ 1288; [2013] 1 WLR 1239 Moorjani v Durban Estates Ltd [2015] EWCA Civ 1252; [2016] HLR 6 Limitation Act 1980: 3, 6 and 12 year limitation periods 10
11 Minimising Costs - Do the work! - Respond to protocol letters - Engage in the selection of joint experts - Make and early and realistic offer to settle (CPR Part 36) - Use injunctions to gain access: see s.11(6) LTA 85 11
12 Experts Keep a list of reliable, independent experts chartered surveyors environmental health consultants In-house experts not experts for purposes of court proceedings Still helpful for them to: inspect and accompany independent expert advise legal team on any questions to be asked about the expert s report Insist that any expert appointed by court only has instructions to report on those items pleaded by the tenant and no more 12
13 Evidence Early collation and examination of records essential: pass to legal team with detailed instructions asap Stick to the facts: if access is an issue, give details Deal with each item of alleged disrepair systematically and in detail Ensure contractors keep good records! 13
14 Pre-action Protocol (1) Pre-action Protocol for Housing Disrepair Claims Counterclaims not covered by Protocol but, by section 4.2(a): landlords and tenants expected to act reasonably in exchanging information and trying to settle case at an early stage Protocol covers claims alleging: breach of covenants, express and implied breach of Defective Premises Act 1972 nuisance and negligence claims but not statutory nuisance actions
15 Pre-action Protocol (2) Single joint experts - 3.6(d) and 4.6(b) Encourages use of alternative options, e.g. ombudsman - 4.1(b) Tenant must set out case: early notification letter letter of claim
16 Pre-action Protocol (2) If claim is settled without litigation on terms which would have justified litigating, landlord will pay the tenant s reasonable costs or out of pocket expenses Costs? Legal fees or, on the small track claim, out of pocket expenses Out of pocket expenses? Expenses incurred as a result of the claim (e.g. loss of earnings, expert s fees) para 4.10 Court of Appeal case: Birmingham City Council v Lee [2008] EWCA Civ 891; [2009] HLR 15 16
17 Practice Direction: Pre-action conduct Failure to follow the protocol can be met with a costs penalty and/or award of interest: Protocols Practice Direction that works both ways! - maximum rate of interest will be 10% - possibility of indemnity costs - avoiding or reducing the rate of interest
18 Small Claims Track (1) 10,000 limit Normally, no legal costs recoverable Small claims track unlikely where specific performance is sought if: - value of claim is assessed at more than 1000, or - the cost of repair works is more than See CPR 26.6(1)(b)
19 Small Claims Track (2) Note: (1) If claim also includes a claim by tenant against landlord for harassment or unlawful eviction then the claim will not be allocated to small claims track (CPR 26.7(4) (1) Disputed possession claims will not normally be allocated to small claims track (26PD 8.1) (1) Value of claim and counterclaim not aggregated, but largest considered (26PD 7.7)
20 Small Claims Track (3) Changes of circumstances may lead to re-allocation of the claim to different track 26PD 11.2 Re-allocation can be by application or of court s own initiative - CPR 26.10; 26PD 11.2 If allocated to small claims and then re-allocated to another track, then small claims costs principles cease to apply from date of reallocation CPR 27.15
21 Settlement: Part 36 offers Protocol should encourage more informed offers Offer early if possible Set-off against arrears Re-allocate to better accommodation if necessary / appropriate Payment into court no longer required Non-Part 36 offers have to be considered too when considering the parties liability for legal costs
22 Set-offs (1) Importance of obtaining costs orders as you go along Interim orders in favour of landlords can be set off against any future costs or damages awards in the claim not affected by publicly funded tenant s entitlement to protection under s.26 of the Legal Aid, Sentencing & Punishment of Offenders Act 2012 Discretionary in nature, however
23 Set-offs (2) CPR 40.13A and County Courts Act 1984, section 71 Allows set-off against other judgments involving the same parties For example, set off against rent arrears judgment in respect of a tenant s former accommodation No limitation issues concerning actions on judgments: Ridgeway Motors Ltd-v-Allis Ltd [2004] EWHC 1535 (Ch) at 21-22; Lowsley and another-v-forbes (t/a L E Design Services) [1998] 3 All ER 897 at 906g Use counterclaims (e.g. rent arrears)
24 Writing to the Legal Aid Agency? In unmeritorious claims, may lead to legal aid certificate being discharged or revoked May also lead to delays whilst issue is investigated Funding available to pursue the protocol No funding for small claims track cases
25 Costs Seek percentage reduction? - Tenant over-egged the pudding or failed on some points - Claim over-valued - Late amendments or clarification of case needed - Some fault on T s part e.g. re access
26 Thank you for listening! Any questions? 26
