Housing eflash: R (oao Oday Yabari) v The Lord Mayor and Citizens of the City of Westminster [2023] EWHC 185 (Admin)

R (oao Oday Yabari) v The Lord Mayor and Citizens of the City of Westminster [2023] EWHC 185 (Admin)

 

The High Court held that a local housing authority was in principle able to perform the duty to provide interim accommodation under s188(1) of the Housing Act 1996 [“the Act”] by advising an applicant to remain in their current accommodation. Although there is no statutory requirement to notify a decision in relation to the s188(1) duty, it is a principle of procedural fairness that a person liable to be directly affected by an administrative act should be given notice of what is proposed.


Annabel Heath was instructed by Lawstop Solicitors on behalf of the Claimant and Ian Peacock was instructed on behalf of the Lord Mayor and Citizens of the City of Westminster [“Westminster”].
