56 Days: The No.1 Bestseller

Product Information

If the relief duty ends for this reason, an authority does not owe the applicant the main housing duty even if they are in priority need and not intentionally homeless. [17] This is a rare case where a person in priority need is at an advantage by being intentionally homeless, as the local authority has limited duties to provide accommodation and assistance. [18] To use the online date units converter, simply select the unit you want to convert from (e.g., 'Weeks'), enter the quantity you want to convert (e.g., '56'), and choose the target unit you want to convert to (e.g., 'Days'). Then hit the 'Convert' button to get the results. The housing authority should take into account any particular difficulties that the applicant may have in managing communications when considering if failure to cooperate is deliberate and unreasonable, particularly if they are street homeless or moving between temporary places to stay such as the homes of different family and friends. 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 14.7 and 14.8). Ciara and Oliver meet in a supermarket queue in Dublin and start dating the same week COVID-19 reaches Irish shores.

Under section 193B(2), the housing authority may give a notice to an applicant if they consider that the applicant has deliberately and unreasonably refused to take one or more of the steps in their personalised housing plan. 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). For example, in the case of a care leaver, second sign off by an officer of at least an equivalent seniority within Children’s Services may be appropriate. Both had just relocated to Dublin, and barely knew their new co-workers. Neither had family close by. definition is: A portable shelter made of cloth, supported by one or more poles and stretched tight by cords or loops attached to pegs driven into the groundIn deciding whether the applicant has suitable accommodation and a reasonable prospect of having suitable accommodation for at least six months, considerations are similar to those made when ending the prevention duty for this reason. trying to see what day falls on the exact date difference of 56 weekdays from today, you can count up each day skipping Saturdays and Sundays. Housing authorities must allow applicants a reasonable period for considering offers of accommodation that will bring the prevention and relief duties to an end. There is no set reasonable period – housing authorities must take into account the applicant’s circumstances in each case. The local authority has discretion over whether to end the relief duty for this reason. In using its discretion, the Code recommends that the authority look at the applicant's circumstances, including the reason for their refusal and the reasonable steps they are taking to secure accommodation of their preference. [20]

Section 189B(7) provides the circumstances in which the housing authority can give notice under section 189B(5) to the applicant bringing the relief duty under section 189B(2) to an end. For further guidance on the relief duty see Chapter 13. Local Planning Authorities have considerable discretion when determining what is development or whether enforcement action is expedient. Development such as gravel hard standing for caravans is often considered de minimis by Local Planning Authorities however this can not be applied broadly, no Local Planning Authority publish guidance as to what may be considered de minimis and in our experience Local Planning Authorities are unlikely to confirm de minimis development prior to development taking place. The end result was 56 Days, a captivating thriller with great characters that kept me on my toes. Oliver clearly has a past he’s trying to keep hidden, so although he seems like a very likeable fellow readers aren’t sure if he’s the hero or villain of the story. Ciara, his girlfriend of only a few weeks, agrees to shelter in place with him though she perpetually second guesses her decisions. Wouldn’t you wonder what type of weirdo you were living with?Section 195(6) prevents a housing authority from bringing the prevention duty to an end after 56 days if the applicant has been given a valid section 21 notice which will expire in 56 days or has expired, and is in respect of their only available accommodation. 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. Notification to end the relief duty (section 189B(7)) Housing authorities should not have a blanket policy of ending the prevention and relief duties after 56 days where they have the discretion to continue it; instead they should in each case take the applicant’s circumstances into account. 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. Before bringing either duty to an end by issuing a section 193B(2) notice, the housing authority must first issue a warning letting the applicant know that if they deliberately and unreasonably refuse to take any of the steps in their personalised housing plan after receiving the warning the authority intends to issue a notice bringing the prevention or relief duty, whichever is relevant, to an end. 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)). There is no set reasonable period, but housing authorities should ensure sufficient time is given to allow the applicant to rectify the non-co-operation and prevent a notice being issued to end the prevention or relief duty. This will vary according to the particular needs and circumstances of the applicant.
