Hi Robbin,
I took a look at your website and read some of the material there. Boy have you had a rough trot but i admire your tenacity in going to the lengths you have to out these people. I can't beleive that they would falsify minutes of committee meetings. The common law of duty of care should have convicted these people pretty quick smart. Do you have a Residential Tenancies Act in the UK or something similar? I know the tribunals in Aus (NSW at least) tend to side mostly with tenants. Co-op housing and managment might come under a different Act. Good on you for sticking with it and putting up a website shaming the scoundrels. Should I ever come across them, I shall say nasty things about their character on your behalf. Ian
Well, one firstly didn't have the choice, either fight or give up. Secondly, one doesn't know how much there is ahead. Common law of duty?--common my arse! As said I firstly found that they were crooks, then the parent org, then the Housing Corporation, and finally the uk's so-called justice system is pack of liar crooks too!
But have now had a little victory. I had no intention of going back to a court which is such a scam of liars anyway. But I bluffed that I was still going ahead with my counterclaim (accusing them of outrageous crimes of course). They in turn didn't want their day of shame in court either, and I'm sure their solicitor could see they were vile crooks too. So they ended up with an out of court settlement, letting off my (unjustified) £6500 costs debts even though my counter was (improperly) limited to £5000. My ECtHR application 5604/08 remains ongoing.
There are official warm words about tenants but in practice they are considered to be a subhuman life-form subsidised by proper people who pay their way. Tenancy has shrunk to a minority in last 30 yrs post Thatcher, but now increasing again thanks to housing collapse.
