The Supreme Court’s judgment will be handed down on Wednesday 1 March.

Can a Rent Repayment Order only be made against an immediate landlord or can a superior landlord also be liable?

Justin Bates and Charles Bishop (instructed by Giles Peaker at Anthony Gold solicitors) made written submissions on behalf of Safer Renting, which intervened in both the Supreme Court and Court of Appeal.
