Landowners are challenging government reforms of the freehold and leasehold property ownership system through a judicial review in the High Court. They argue that new legislation from 2024 infringes on their human rights under the ECHR. While leaseholders are concerned that the legal challenge will delay necessary reforms meant to protect their rights and reduce costs, the freeholders claim the new laws could significantly reduce their compensation and financial investments in the community. The hearing is set to last until Friday, with leaseholders anxious about future legal implications.
