Spike (as he was almost universally known to friends and colleagues) was an inspiration and true champion of social justice. His loss will be widely felt and we send our deepest condolences to his family.

Legal Action Group is sad beyond words to hear of the sudden death of our great friend and colleague Simon Mullings. His contribution to housing law is beyond measure; and his commitment, compassion and expertise changed countless clients’ lives for the better. [Contd ...]

As a colleague Simon was kind, generous and fun.   His commitment to social justice was unwavering and through the pursuit of this Simon became loved by fellow Legal Aid lawyers far and wide.  We mourn a great man and send our thoughts and condolences to his family and friends.

As an accomplished lawyer Simon brought a number of high-profile cases but he firmly believed that some of his best work was done under the Legal Help scheme providing much needed advice to the communities of East London..

It is with enormous sadness that we have learned of the passing of our former colleague and friend, Simon (Spike) Mullings.  Simon worked for EDS for over 25 years and during that time assisted hundreds, if not thousands, of clients in fighting homelessness..

For those interested in housing law, live streamed from Court of Appeal on 18/4, Ghaoui v LB Waltham Forest. Appeal of a s204 decision concerning approach to assessing suitability where ECHR rights engaged, particularly Art 9. @lizdgclaw & Kevin Gannon @gcchousing for Appellant

@TLClegals Thanks @TLClegals, helpful tip! It was challenging enough fitting in all the content for the tender in Dec 22 but now even more so!

@EdwardsDuthie When you paste 4,000 characters from Word, the actual limit in Bravo is closer to just 3,920. Very difficult to fit in all key content. Space is very limiting.

@TLClegals have you found that the limit for each question of the HLPAS tender is now 4000 characters whereas for the 2023 tender it was 6000?
