I was pleased to advise upon and draft the appeal for yet another housing disrepair claim allocation battle for Legal HD. Unable to undertake the appeal, due to a clash of professional commitments, my colleague Gordon Exall nobly undertook the advocacy, winning the case. I attach a copy of the judgment of HHJ Freedman, in the case of Lynne Fishwick v Gentoo Group Limited as it illustrates yet another decision of a Circuit Judge in this hotly contested area.
