Confidential and Sensitive Advice

Overview

Landmark has experience of providing confidential, experienced and sensitive advice and representation in high value matters or where the reputation of the Council, senior staff or councillors are on the line. Most are too confidential to be able to disclose but they include:

  • Advice to a London Borough on the respective responsibilities of the Borough and the Fire Authorities in connection with the removal of cladding in the immediate aftermath of Grenfell Tower. Required collaboration between specialist local government silk leading a property specialist junior, both members of Landmark.
  • Advice over time to a London Borough in connection with the implications of the judgment in Jones v Southwark BC concerning treatment of Thames Water charges in charges made in council's tenancies.
  • Advice where a local authority’s parking contractor was shown to have committed widespread fraud, with very serious financial implications for monies that were potentially refundable.
  • Significant advisory work to London local authorities concerning road traffic regulation, road user charging, and enforcement of civil penalties, under London local acts.
