56 Days: The No.1 Bestseller

Product Information

Collaborating with colleague Danny Sullivan – a man facing his own personal issues – she first exposes an illegal tax evasion scheme and then infiltrates a small group who are determined to bring the cause of Scottish independence to greater public attention by using IRA tactics. This means that the housing authority will continue to owe a prevention duty beyond the initial 56 days, until the applicant is served with a section 195(5) notice on the basis that another of the circumstance set out in section 195(8) applies. McDermid is at her considerable best here, raising the stakes ever higher and conjuring the atmosphere of the newsroom so strongly that the cigarette smoke will have you coughing. Ciara and Oliver meet in a supermarket queue in Dublin and start dating the same week COVID-19 reaches Irish shores. Things are different now, and that’s only to be expected, human nature means that life and our attitude to the pandemic has changed over the past year.

An applicant can request a review of the decision to end the relief duty within 21 days of being notified. And it’s not just at work that there are mysteries to be solved: Mickie has been getting creepy anonymous messages and fears there’s something strange going on at home. Where a housing authority is satisfied that, despite the section 21 notice, the landlord has agreed not to pursue possession and there is a reasonable prospect of the accommodation being available for at least 6 months the prevention duty may be ended (section 195(8)(a)) (see paragraphs 14. Rental of a caravan within the curtilage of a dwelling house to a member of the public is almost certainly a breach of paragraph 1 caravan site exemption conditions in this context. The action takes place in Glasgow during the runup to that year’s referendum on Scottish devolution.

D – the applicant has refused an offer of suitable accommodation and, on the date of refusal, there was a reasonable prospect that suitable accommodation would be available for the minimum prescribed period (sections 195(8)(d) and 189B(7)(c)). But like in any new relationship, there many things Ciara doesn’t know about her new boyfriend… and Oliver may not be quite who he says he is.

For households including children or particularly vulnerable adults who are owed duties under the Children Act 1989 or Care Act 2014, local authorities should consider having arrangements in place to manage a transition in responsibilities, so that there is no break in the provision of accommodation for applicants who cease to be eligible for 1996 Act support. e) the section 193(2) duty to secure accommodation for applicants who are homeless, eligible for assistance, have priority need and are not intentionally homeless (the main housing duty). Housing authorities may take into account the interim nature of a placement when assessing whether or not it is suitable; as accommodation may be suitable for a few days or weeks that would not be suitable for a longer term placement. The housing authority’s procedures may provide that second sign off of the decision to issue a notice can be given by an appropriate person from another service within the local authority (or upper tier local authority).

Section 205(3) of the 1996 Act enables housing authorities to discharge the section 189B(2) relief and/or section 195(2) prevention duties by securing accommodation for an applicant, where it decides to do so. The warning must explain the consequences of a notice being given and the housing authority must allow a reasonable period after the warning is given before issuing a notice (section 193B(4) and (5)).

c) make provision for the decision to give a notice under section 193B(2) to be made by an officer of that housing authority and authorised by an appropriate person. It is recommended that local authorities have procedures in place to attempt to maintain or regain contact with applicants who have ceased contact prior to deciding to end the prevention or relief duty under this subsection. Both the prevention and relief duties can be brought to an end under section 193B and section 193C if an applicant deliberately and unreasonably refuses to take any of the steps that they agreed to take, or the housing authority set out for them to take where agreement could not be reached, in their personalised housing plan ( subsections (4) and (6)(b) of section 189A). The section 195(2) prevention duty requires authorities to take reasonable steps to help the applicant to secure that accommodation does not cease to be available to them, and the relief duty requires housing authorities to take reasonable steps to help the applicant to secure that suitable accommodation becomes available to them for at least 6 months.There will be many novels written about 2020 but this is not a lockdown novel, it’s simply one of the best crime novels I’ve read this year. d) the applicant’s refusal to co-operate with any step was deliberate and unreasonable in the context of their particular circumstances and needs.
