Hardwicke is delighted to present this timely seminar examining the case of Hannon v Hillingdon Homes Ltd [2012] EWHC 1437 (QB), in which a landlord, through its management arm, was held responsible for injury to a contractor caused by a tenant’s alterations to the property, this raises difficult questions for local housing authorities and private registered providers alike.
