  Defending Possession Proceedings has established itself as the book that lawyers and advisers turn to in a housing crisis. It is the key 'homelessness prevention' handbook - a comprehensive guide to all aspects of the law relating to possession proceedings. Dealing with the three principal types of occupier - social housing tenants, private tenants and mortgage borrowers - Defending Possession Proceedings focuses on practice and procedure and the relevant substantive law. It is written in a user-friendly way, so that it contains information which is of use to the most experienced legal practitioner, yet is still understandable to the least experienced housing adviser. The main text is supplemented with official forms and notices, statements of case and applications, an instructions checklist, the Rent Arrears Pre-Action Protocol and CPR Part 55.
