Local Government Lawyer

In this episode, Sharpe Pritchard and Five Paper explore what access injunctions are, why they are used, and the circumstances in which courts may grant them.

We break down the process of commencing an access injunction application, the key evidence required to support a claim, and what applicants need to demonstrate in order to persuade the court that access is necessary. We also examine the practical benefits of injunctions in the context of disrepair cases, where gaining access can be critical to investigating issues and carrying out essential repairs.

Finally, we address a common question: can access be forced, and what legal options are available when access continues to be denied?

Whether you’re a housing professional, legal practitioner, landlord, or simply interested in housing law, this episode provides a clear and practical overview of access injunctions and their role in resolving property disputes.
