Ruth Kelly鈥檚 embarrassing climbdown over HIPs hasn鈥檛 stopped RICS from threatening to take the government to court.

RICS has suspended its legal action against the government over Home Information Packs but says it will 鈥榬eactivate鈥� the judicial review if the government does not 鈥榙eliver on its obligations鈥�.

  • RICS says it has only agreed to the 鈥榮tay鈥� of the Judicial Review on the following terms:
  • The Government provide a 12 week consultation period on EPCs
  • The Government publish a Regulatory Impact Assessment (including a full cost-benefit analysis)
  • The Government pay RICS' legal costs.
Has RICS got a point or should they drop their action?
