LASPO - Housing

Page1 / 1

The LASPO changes came into force on 1 April 2013. In the housing category we are collecting data on cases where clients could have avoided possession proceedings if legal aid was available for housing benefit or arrears advice at the arrears stage.

Please complete this survey for the clients you are representing in possession proceedings.

You can complete this survey more than once - for as many clients as you are able to record.
