First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber)
Overview
This technical workshop provides a detailed overview of the First-tier Tribunal Property Chamber (FTPC) and its role and powers. The course offers guidance on how to successfully defend appeals as well as how to try and resolve disputes and avoid appeals.
This will help you to understand the benefit of good practice in carrying out inspections and assessing conditions using the HHSRS, and the enforcement provisions of the Housing Act 2004, in minimising the incidence of appeals.
There will be guidance on the collection, collation and presentation of evidence and information to support enforcement action and to provide robust defence against appeals.
Delegates will gain valuable insight on the information requirements of the Tribunal when an appeal is lodged, and the Tribunal rules, regulations and procedures for hearing appeals.
Topics will include:
- Collecting and managing casework information and documents
- Preparing documents to respond to appeals
- The role and powers of the First-tier Tribunal
- Preparing and presenting evidence
- Considering documentation submitted in support of, and defence of, an appeal
Who should attend:
- Private Sector Housing Enforcement Officers
- Environmental Health Practitioners
- Property and Housing Managers
What past delegates thought:
- "I really like the interactive side of it and also very useful information, grateful to have the slides to refer to"
