Is there anywhere I can go to seek compensation for court errors?

Hello, I am currently going through Section 21 route to evict my tenants who haven’t been paying rent since November 2023. Instead of issuing a possession order, a judge has set a hearing date in July this year stating since October 2015 , a valid EPC certificate is needed to use Sec 21.

While my rental agreement was dated prior Oct 2015, the reason stated by the judge is clearly incorrect.

I still have to wait to hear from the judge for my appeal and as the tenants are not paying rent, is there anywhere I can go to seek compensation for the delay caused by the court?

I did have a valid EPC certificate when the rental agreement was signed, it was included with my court documents. As the first EPC expired during the tenancy, I didn’t renew it, as I was told no need to issue a new one if the same tenants stayed on.

A new EPC has been done since I issued a Section 21 and it was also included in my Court papers as well.

I spoke to the NRLA support line, who says court may have made an error.

Has anyone encountered the same problem as me? Will court compensate me for my loss caused by their mistake?

Thank you,

S

So who do we want in the next election? Tories? Labour? Reform?

Taken form the Judicial Conducts Investigations Office

We can only deal with complaints about the misconduct of judicial office-holders.

We cannot accept complaints about a judge’s decision or the way a judge has managed a case.

So basically, if the judge declares black to be white you then have to go through an appeals process, the official investigator isn't interested.

I've had exactly the same.
Judge postponed cause wanted to see evidence of Boiler gas certificate.
Even though tenancy before the 2015 dates.
AND AND had a signed letter from tenant saying she had received one.
Had to pay me solicitor £500 to sit at court another day to tell Judge the same.
It's disgusting. Courts & Govt & tenants court defence solicitors love this little victory, we know they've just made it worse & more expensive for next tenant.

There should be redress for this & Courts & Judges should be held to account, they playing with & making mistakes with our lives.

It’s all about left wing judges trying their very best to keep tenants in their properties. The law should be fair and unbiased ……. but they have an agenda. With a specialist housing court this would be exposed ……hence why we’ll never get one.
