PLA Alan Langleben Memorial Blog Competition 2024
We invite PLA members and trainees, apprentices and paralegals to contribute to this year's Alan Langleben Memorial Competition and prepare a blog (not exceeding 500 words) which answers the following question:
“Everyone has a right to a decent home” (Michael Gove, White Paper “A fairer private rented sector”).
The Government has proposed a raft of reforms to residential property legislation, designed to overhaul the rights of both short and long term leaseholders. But could such reform give rise to unintended consequences that destabilise these sectors and squeeze the supply of affordable housing stock? Discuss. (500 word limit)
Who may participate
Contest is open to all current members of the PLA (with the exception of Honorary, Retired or Academic members, or any current members of the Executive Committee or Law Reform Committee) and trainees, apprentices and paralegals who are involved in property litigation.
Prize
The winning entry will be published in the Estates Gazette and receive £2,000 in prize money.
