The position is that the previous Conservative Government committed to making improvements to His Majesty’s Courts & Tribunals Service before abolishing Section 21 for existing tenancies, as well as to a six-month implementation period before abolishing Section 21 for new tenancies. The new Government have abandoned that commitment. That is not just regrettable in itself—we all know that HMCTS needs improvements and that there is no time to delay—but the decision to abandon the commitment may be detrimental, or hold below the waterline, this legislation and the proposed reforms outlined in it.
