Certificate in Commercial Property Litigation

Commercial landlord and tenant law and practice remains a complex area of law, presenting many legal and practical challenges. As a commercial property litigator, it is essential you maintain an effective, up-to-date understanding of legislation and procedure.

This two-day course will give you a valuable grounding in the core practice areas of commercial property litigation, whether you are a solicitor or other practitioner dealing with commercial property disputes, and seeking to build up your litigation practice.

In this course, you will be taken through an in-depth review of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954. This Act is fundamental to the management of commercial property, and from it a large proportion of your work is undoubtedly derived. However, as it is a highly technical piece of legislation, there are many traps for the unwary.

How should you deal with a dispute where the landlord opposes lease renewal on statutory grounds? How are disputes involving dilapidations, service charges and break options best approached as a litigator? What about contentious applications for landlord’s consent to dealings with the lease, the practicalities of trespasser eviction, and forfeiture of leases?

Our well known and respected expert in property litigation, Mark Shelton, will guide you through the 1954 Act and these issues, taking a firmly practical approach. The course considers the law and procedure where, for example, the landlord opposes lease renewal on each of the statutory grounds, and a range of other common areas of dispute you will likely have to deal with in practice.
