Illegal Occupation by Travellers - A Guide to Effective Recovery of Possession

Introduction

When a client calls with the news that their site or building is in illegal occupation, it’s always a moment to drop everything else and hit the ground running.

Being up to speed with how to manage the logistical issues and navigate the court processes is essential to achieving your client’s aim of getting possession back at the earliest possible moment.

This live broadcast session sets out a point-by-point action plan for meeting the challenge, and considers the court process in distinct procedural phases, to enable an organised approach to preparation for the various steps. It also addresses measures complementary to court proceedings, and the available steps for preventing repeat occupation, or at least meeting it with rapid and effective enforcement.
