Torts Act Disposal Package
Where goods have been left behind after a tenant, occupier, licensee or business has vacated, landlords and property managers often need more than a general explanation. They need a structured, documented process that helps move the matter forward professionally.
Our Torts Act Disposal Package is designed for clients who want practical support with notice drafting, service and evidential paperwork before goods are removed, sold or otherwise dealt with.
Structured support for a defensible paper trail
We can review the circumstances, prepare the appropriate notice, arrange service at available addresses and provide confirmation of service for your records. Where matters appear more complex or legally sensitive, we can also refer onward to one of our partner solicitors.
Structured Process
Notice drafting, service and supporting paperwork presented in a more formal and controlled way.
Reduced Risk
A clearer service trail can help reduce avoidable disputes and evidential gaps later.
Professional Presentation
A well-presented process is often preferable to rushed, informal or poorly documented action.
Practical Support
Suitable for commercial landlords, agents, accommodation providers and property operators.
A more structured way to deal with goods left behind
Problems with abandoned or uncollected goods often arise not because action was taken, but because the process was rushed, informal or poorly evidenced. A properly drafted and properly served notice can help demonstrate that reasonable steps were taken before disposal.
This package is often used following commercial forfeiture, excluded occupier matters, vacated units and managed property situations where goods remain on site and the client wants a sensible, defensible process before taking the next step.
What this package can include
- Background review and practical guidance
- Drafting of a notice to collect goods or intended disposal notice
- Service to last known or traced addresses
- Certificate or confirmation of service
- Referral to solicitors where required
Often used following
- Commercial forfeiture
- Excluded occupier matters
- Vacated units
- Managed properties
