The Garden Court Housing Team is deeply saddened by the death of Giles Peaker. Giles was a champion of housing law.
He had an expert knowledge of the area, and was dedicated in putting that to work for his clients. He was also instrumental in developing the law for the benefit of tenants generally through his work on the Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Act 2018, bringing the right to minimum standards in housing conditions to tenancies throughout England.
He was a skilled communicator of the law through his insightful Nearly Legal blog, and his seminars and writing, including as a co-author of Housing Conditions: Tenants Rights.
He was a supportive colleague to the tenant housing lawyer community, and a former chair of the Housing Law Practitioners Association. He will be hugely missed. Our thoughts are with his family, friends and colleagues at Anthony Gold.
