High Court Dismisses Challenge to Thurrock Selective Licensing Scheme

The High Court has for the second time dismissed a judicial review of Thurrock council’s Selective Licensing Scheme. This decision allows the council to proceed with implementing the scheme.

According to Landlord Today, the claimant had sought an oral hearing to challenge the High Court’s previous written decision, which had dismissed the claim on 13 March this year. With the latest dismissal, Thurrock council is now able to move forward with the Selective Licensing Scheme.

This development is relevant for UK letting agents and inventory clerks operating in Thurrock, as the implementation of selective licensing may affect property management processes and compliance requirements.
