Welcome to your weekly round-up of the pick of the content published on EG Legal over the past seven days.
This week, we share the views of Property Litigation Association members on what should happen when the moratorium on rent arrears recovery eventually comes to an end. Then there’s an authoritative review of where landlords and tenants stand when it comes to CVAs and restructurings following recent High Court rulings. In addition, we have the second episode in our three-part Law & Borders series on Scottish real estate, this time discussing planning. ATMs throw up a raft of issues for property owners that host them, but we have a straightforward ABC guide. And further topics include the new Welsh government’s plans, boundary dispute mediation and plenty more.
