General Requirements
Use OSCOLA style referencing, including footnotes and a bibliography. It should also use the Arial font (size 12) and 1.5 line spacing (except for the footnotes, which should use single line spacing).
“The purpose of a professional report is to present information or specific findings rather than to present an argument or ideas, so a report is generally more descriptive in style and less discursive than an essay. It will still require evaluation on your part and for you to demonstrate critical thinking and analytical skills but a report aims to present findings concisely. It should therefore focus on the relevant points to support the findings and, as it typically addresses a particular issue or presents a particular solution, it should include recommendations for courses of action.
A report should be quite structured. It will usually include numbered headings and sub-headings and may use bullet points. It may also include use of diagrams, tables and charts, where appropriate, to illustrate or support the points covered.”
Criteria
“1. Demonstration of knowledge and understanding of the relevant area;
2. Analysis of complex legal, factual, business and/or management issues, as appropriate;
3. Application of knowledge and understanding to the task;
4. Ability to select and use appropriate information in support of the argument;
5. Ability critically to evaluate information as appropriate;
6. Ability to reach a clear and reasoned solution to the problem(s) raised in the task, addressing any ethical and commercial issues, as appropriate;
7. Ability to communicate using a clear and logical structure and language appropriate to the task.”
Report title
See below report title to which I please require a detailed report on;
“As a government committed to building a fairer society, I don’t see how we can look the other way while these practically feudal practices persist”. Sajid Javid, the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government.
Housing has historically been effected by “unfair practices in the leasehold market”.
To what extent do you consider that legislation can or has offered solutions to these perceived problems? Could the commonhold scheme of ownership address any of the Government’s concerns?
In preparing your report you need to:
1. Identify the problems with the existing leasehold regime for residential leasehold houses.
2. Analyse the extent to which legislation has or could successfully address these problems and whether non-legislative steps (such as voluntary changes to the working practices of developers and their advisers) might also assist.
3. Provide a brief description of how the commonhold form of land ownership operates in our jurisdiction.
4. Discuss the pros and cons of the commonhold form of land ownership in addressing the problems you have identified with the existing leasehold regime
Provide a plagiarism report, if possible?
