Residential Property Tribunals in Wales

With effect from 21 March 2012 all disputes, bar termination, relating to park homes sited on residential parks in Wales will be determined by the Residential Property Tribunal not the County Court.  As with the transfer of jurisdiction in England in 2011 there is a transitional period.  Any applications made to the court prior to 21 March 2012 will not be affected and where a pitch fee proposal is made before 21 March park owners will have until 21 March next year to apply to the County Court to determine the review.
