With the general stay on possession proceedings now at an end, Diane Doliveux and Richard Alford discuss new guidance from the Master of the Rolls setting out how the county courts will deal with the backlog of cases, and what parties will need to do to speed that process on. As well as new procedural steps intended to get casework in order before a hearing, this episode considers which cases will be listed as a priority, and which may fall by the wayside.
