These are not just my views. The Housing Minister told the Public Bill Committee in the Commons that the court system is “on its knees”. Government data shows that the average time to process and enforce a Section 8 possession case, which is the grounds-based route to possession, is over seven months. Likewise, the cross-party Levelling Up, Housing and Communities Committee last year warned of the courts and tribunals service being “overwhelmed” as a result of similar changes proposed by the last Government.
