Court of Appeal grants permission to appeal in Zaman v Waltham Forest
Permission for a second appeal in Zaman v Waltham Forest has been granted by Arnold LJ. The case raises important points of principle regarding the lawfulness of the Respondent’s policy of ‘zoning’ of out-of-borough offers of accommodation in discharge of duties under Part VII Housing Act 1996, and regarding the proper approach to assessment of affordability when making such offers.
Siân McGibbon acts for the appellant, instructed by Marcin Brajta of Camden Community Law Centre.
