Professor James Driscoll Qualifies As A Mediator 

Professor James Driscoll, solicitor, noted author of legal texts, Lawyer Chair of the Residential Property Tribunal, First-tier Property Chamber, and a well-known speaker at conferences has now qualified as a mediator specialising in all aspects of residential landlord and tenant law, including leasehold matters. He told News on the Block that he believes using mediation, rather than legal proceedings can be ideal for solving many service charge disputes, or other disputes relating to leasehold management. These sorts of disputes, he says, may be settled far more quickly and cheaply than using legal proceedings.

James is currently working on the 6th edition of the Butterworths Residential Landlord and Tenant Handbook which will be published in December 2012. More details are available at
