Lambeth County Court Drop In

We provide a drop in advice service on Monday afternoons between 2pm and 4pm at Lambeth County Court, Cleaver Street, Kennington Road, London, SE11 4DZ. The service is primarily for clients who need advice because they have an eviction warrant for either rent or mortgage arrears and

our advisers can assist clients with completing an application to the Court to ask for the eviction to be stopped. Please just drop in at the Court on Mondays between 2pm and 4pm if you would like to see an adviser for this service.

Case Study 6

Mr D was a Dutch national who was in this country in order to look after his child after the child’s mother was unable to continue looking after him. Having been made homeless the client applied for housing via the local authority. He was refused on the grounds that he did not have the right to reside. With the assistance of an opinion from Counsel BAC researched the complex English and European law surrounding this case. Our legal submission convinced the local authority to change the decision, and the two are now securely housed.
