Issuing possession warrants
Iles, A
Issuing possession warrants - 2001 - New Law Journal 151(7004) 19 October 2001, 1546-1550(2) .
Considers whether the county court procedure for issuing possession warrants for land comply with the Human Rights Act 1998. Examines the recent case, "St Brice v Southwark LBC" in which the tenant argued that to comply with the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) Articles 6 and 8, the issue of the warrant of possession should have been a judicial rather than administrative act and he should have received formal notice. It was found that the procedure was not in breach of the ECHR and that seeking the eviction of the tenant was justified due to the level of rent arrears.
