1) "But it is the one we do need to master to prevent BPA/IPC from winning."
2) "There does not even appear to be much scope to even try and lever in some of the massive issues around this whole industry which is built on what is an unsutainable model. Generating income from people 'breaking rules'."
I am also perplexed by the statement in the Ministerial foreword which to me seems to suggest that 1) is possible and 2) is not true:-

When I filled it in I highlighted the issue of "CCJ clamping" which needs some attention in the code, and also of leaseholders and share-of-freeholders getting PPCs foisted on them. Massive oversights, in my view.1

I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .
I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.
