Getting one's house in order - 2008 - New Law Journal 158(7303) 11 January 2008, 57-58(2) .

Considers whether abolishing the law of forfeiture would make it easier to terminate a tenancy when a tenant defaults. Covers the following aspects of the Landlord and Tenant (Terminations of Tenancies) Bill: definition of default; termination action; time limits; the court's discretion; orders of the court; summary termination procedure; the summary termination notice; discharge orders; post-termination orders. Concludes that there is uncertainty because the Bill was not in the 2007 Queen's Speech; it is by no means certain that legislation would be passed in future.
