The Property Chambers have been quick to react to the current crisis. As noted previously on this page the First-tier Tribunal immediately undertook a review all of cases listed for hearing or mediation in the four-week period from 23rd March 2020 to establish whether cases should proceed or be postponed for a paper determination or re-listing. Postponements were duly given in the vast majority of cases, with letters being sent out almost immediately in each case. All hearings in Residential Property cases were then postponed until after 29 May 2020, with all directions suspended until after the same date.
