We are already seeing increasing scrutiny around vulnerability in possession, debt recovery and enforcement matters. In our experience, landlords who maintain clear records, engage with tenants early and obtain legal advice before issues escalate are generally better placed to manage disputes and avoid costly delays.

The new ECB vulnerability standards do not prevent landlords from recovering possession or pursuing debt. However, they are likely to increase scrutiny of enforcement decisions, place greater emphasis on record keeping and early engagement, and may lead to delays where vulnerabilities are identified. Landlords who review their processes now will be in a stronger position when the new regime takes full effect in January 2027.

Horsley Law advises landlords, caravan park operators and park home site owners across England and Wales on possession proceedings, rent arrears recovery, enforcement action and regulatory compliance.

Can you still bring a claim decades after the events that caused your injury?

A recent High Court case has highlighted that psychiatric injuries can remain legally significant even where the impact has been carried privately for many years.

Many people wrongly assume that because time has passed, they have lost the right to seek legal advice. The reality is often more complex.

At Horsley Law, we understand that trauma does not follow a timetable. Whether your situation involves medical negligence, personal injury, or another form of harm, obtaining early legal advice can help you understand your options.

Every case turns on its own facts, but one thing remains true: delaying legal advice could mean missing important opportunities.

If you are unsure whether you have a claim, speak to our team in confidence.

New Buy Now, Pay Later Rules: Stronger Protections for Millions of UK Consumers

Millions of UK shoppers using Buy Now, Pay Later services such as Clearpay and Klarna are now benefiting from stronger legal protections following the introduction of new Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) regulations that came into force on 15 July 2026. The changes bring BNPL products in line with other forms of consumer credit, introducing affordability checks, access to the Financial Ombudsman Service, a 14-day cooling-off period and, for eligible purchases over £100, Section 75 protection.

The reforms follow years of concern from regulators and consumer groups that the rapid growth of BNPL lending had left many consumers exposed to debt without the protections available with traditional credit products. The market has grown from around £60 million in 2017 to more than £13 billion in 2024, with almost 11 million UK adults now using BNPL services.

Consumers will now have greater rights if something goes wrong, including the ability to escalate complaints to the Financial Ombudsman Service and pursue claims for faulty goods under Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act. BNPL providers will also be required to conduct ongoing affordability assessments and provide clearer information about repayments and the consequences of missed payments.

Horsley Law Welcomes the Changes

Adrian Le Monnier of Horsley Law said:

"At Horsley Law, we strongly welcome these changes, which represent an important step forward for consumer rights and access to justice. Consumers should have effective ways to challenge decisions, raise concerns and obtain redress when things go wrong, and these new protections help bring Buy Now, Pay Later products into line with other regulated forms of credit."

"The changes also support the principles behind our own 'Right to Write' campaign, which calls for stronger consumer rights to contact businesses directly when they have a complaint or dispute. Increasingly, consumers find themselves trapped behind chatbots, automated systems and online forms, with no clear telephone number or email address when they need help. We believe every consumer should have a clear route to be heard. Whether it is a disputed charge, a faulty product, an unfair penalty or a service issue, access to meaningful communication and redress should be a fundamental right, not a privilege."

"Technology should enhance customer service, not remove accountability. Consumers deserve transparent contact channels and a fair opportunity to resolve issues before suffering financial loss or unnecessary stress."

Successful Tribunal Defence

We're pleased to have secured another successful outcome for one of our business clients.

Horsley Law recently represented a business in a First-tier Tribunal dispute involving a holiday park. After preparing detailed legal arguments on whether the Tribunal had jurisdiction to hear the claim, the opposing party withdrew the claim in full before the preliminary hearing.

The result meant our client avoided the cost, stress and uncertainty of contested Tribunal proceedings.

Disputes involving holiday parks and caravan parks can be legally complex, making it essential to obtain specialist legal advice at an early stage.

Whether you're a holiday park owner, site operator, landlord or business facing a dispute, our experienced litigation team can help protect your position.
