Distress for arrears of rent is still a highly effective remedy when properly applied and especially relevant to insolvency situations. However, the ancient origin of much of the law means that many of the concepts are unfamiliar to practitioners today.In this book Iain Travers, a leading property litigator and partner at Nabarro Nathanson, and Anthony Tanney, barrister, have assembled a detailed explanation of law and practice of distress, together with all relevant legislation and a comprehensive library of precedents. The result is a unique single volume reference on the subject for all property law advisers.
The book begins by showing how widely held the belief has been that ethnic minorities are discriminated against by the courts and by other agencies in the criminal justice system. It discusses the factors that contributed to this belief, including the findings of the Macpherson Report and the notion of 'institutional racism'. It then looks at the institutional setting in which the research took place, the experience of defendants and witnesses, their views about how they were treated by the criminal courts, and the views of others involved in the court process. Final chapters address the issue of sensitivity to ethnicity on the part of judges, magistrates and lawyers.
