Living in a home that your landlord has failed to maintain is not just inconvenient — it can be genuinely harmful to your health, your family’s wellbeing and your finances. For council and housing association tenants across England and Wales, housing disrepair claims provide a legal mechanism to force repairs to be carried out and to receive compensation for the impact of living in substandard conditions.
A criminal injury compensation claim allows someone who has suffered physical or psychological injury as a direct result of a violent crime to seek financial compensation through the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) — a government body administering a statutory compensation scheme in England and Wales.
Unlike personal injury claims, these cases are not brought against the offender. Compensation is paid by the state. This means a claim may succeed even if the offender was never caught, was acquitted, or no prosecution took place — provided police accept that a crime of violence occurred.
Leanne studied the Bar Vocational Course at the BPP Law School in Leeds, and graduated with Very Competent, before cross-qualifying as a Solicitor in 2013.
