Message from President of the Property Chamber Judge McGrath
We are pleased to be working with the JAC to recruit additional salaried judges for the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber). This recruitment exercise is specifically for practitioners who work in landlord and tenant, housing and property law. The work of the Chamber is varied and challenging and we are likely to see an increase in the number of applications and appeals that we receive from the significant legislative changes that may be introduced under the Leasehold and Freehold and Reform Act 2024 and the Renters Rights Bill that is currently making its way through Parliament.
Judicial office holders and practitioners from all backgrounds (including CILEX lawyers) who have five years’ legal post qualification experience are welcome to attend.
