Chancel Repairs Bill [HL]

[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to

This bill deals with an old medieval law that can force certain property owners to pay for repairs to church chancels, even if they have no connection to the church. The bill aims to change or clarify these rules so property owners aren't hit with unexpected large bills for repairs they didn't know they were legally responsible for.

Presented by Lord Avebury.
