Can COVID-19-related absences be disregarded when applying for settlement under the ten-year Long Residence route?

Although the Immigration Rules recognise pandemic-related travel disruption, applicants may need to show how circumstances outside their control prevented their return to the UK.

Our latest article examines the Home Office’s approach, the evidence that may assist and the difficulties applicants can face where no return journey was booked.

Stay tuned for our upcoming case study exploring how these issues may arise in practice.

Is your child planning to attend an independent school in the UK?

The Parent of a Child Student visa UK may allow one parent to accompany and care for a child aged between 4 and 11 during their studies.

Before applying, parents should understand that:
✅ Only one parent can accompany the child under this visa route.
✅ The parent cannot work, study or access public funds.
✅ Financial and accommodation requirements apply.
✅ The parent must intend to live with and care for the child.
✅ The visa does not directly lead to settlement.

Our guide explains the Parent of a Child Student visa requirements, financial evidence, restrictions, extensions and common application issues.

Has your solicitor’s firm been closed by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA)?

An SRA intervention takes effect immediately, but your legal matter will not automatically transfer to another firm and existing deadlines are not paused.

Depending on your circumstances, you may need to:
• instruct a new solicitor to continue an ongoing matter;
• recover files or original documents; or
• apply for the return of client money.

Our latest article explains what happens following an SRA intervention and the practical steps affected clients can take.

How do you defend a multi-million pound gaming debt claim? Chan Neill Solicitors, a London-based litigation firm, recently resolved a £4.75m claim against a high net worth individual by challenging the casino’s legal and factual basis.

Our team identified critical deficiencies in the demand, including the casino’s failure to explain the alleged debt or provide copies of nine signed cheques. The claim was subsequently dropped in the UK.

When enforcement was pursued in Kuwait, we provided strategic support to the client’s Kuwaiti legal team, leading the casino to abandon its efforts.

Key takeaway: Challenging the legal basis and documentation of a gaming debt can lead to dismissal—even in cross-border enforcement scenarios.

If you are facing a substantial gaming debt claim or a complex cross border dispute, contact our experienced Litigation team today to discuss how we may assist.

When buying a leasehold property in London, part of the service charge may be set aside in a reserve or sinking fund to cover future major works, such as roof repairs, redecoration or lift replacement

A reserve fund can help spread these costs over time, but it may not always cover the full amount.

Buyers should therefore check:

- how much is currently held
- whether major works are planned
- whether additional contributions may be required
- what the lease allows the fund to be used for

This article forms part of our conveyancing series, explaining how reserve funds work and why they matter when purchasing a leasehold property.

Chan Neill Solicitors LLP is a London law firm, and our experienced conveyancing solicitors can guide you through the transaction and explain the relevant leasehold information clearly. We assist clients in English, Mandarin and Cantonese.
