Disclaimer

This file is for information only. It is not legal advice. Nothing in this file — and nothing arising from reading or using it — constitutes a solicitor-client relationship.

The law stated in each section is that of England and Wales as at the UPDATED date shown for that section. The law changes. Readers should verify the current position before taking any action or making any decision in reliance on information in this file. Statutory thresholds, financial limits, and commencement dates in particular are subject to change by secondary legislation.

No liability is accepted for any loss or detriment arising from reliance on this file, whether in connection with any dispute, transaction, claim, or other matter.

Where this file refers to First-tier Tribunal decisions, those decisions are not binding precedent. Only Upper Tribunal (Lands Chamber) decisions and decisions of the Court of Appeal and above create binding authority. A stated position reflecting First-tier Tribunal practice represents the general approach observed, not a guaranteed outcome in any particular case.

The Reform Tracker reflects the position as at June 2026. It records the legislative status of provisions as documented at that date. Legislative positions change; provisions not yet in force as at June 2026 may have been commenced subsequently.
