With considerable depth in experience among its practitioners, Civitas Law leads on in the most prominent cases concerning Welsh housing law. Lucy King advises clients facing claims of possessions and unlawful evictions based on anti-social behaviour and rent arrears, and Dominic Evans‘ practice focuses complex disrepair claims on the side of both tenants and local councils, with one prominent recent case concerning the extent to which the liability of landlords can be extended to sources of disrepair in neighbouring properties. Owain Rhys James leads on cases at the forefront of developments in housing law, including many first decisions concerning the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016, as well as on housing-related judicial reviews.
