520 _aA court ruling confirms that estate agents can be banned after a single case of specified malpractice, providing greater protection for consumers. The decision follows a judicial review case brought by Benhams Ltd, who challenged the Office of Fair Trading's view that no action could be taken against estate agents on the basis of one instance of malpractice.
