Bell Hotel: Appeals judges overturn ban
people's anger is growing by the bank.
Yeah.
going up. Have a day.
We conclude that the judge made a number
of errors of principle which undermine
his decision.
The wider picture. The provision of
accommodation for asylum seekers
pursuant to the home secretary's
statutory duty is a national issue
requiring a structured response.
Ad hoc interim injunction applications
seeking closure of particular sites may
each have some individual merit, but the
judge's approach ignores the obvious
consequence that closure of one site
means that capacity needs to be
identified elsewhere in the system and
may incentivize
local planning authorities who wish to
remove asylum accommodation from their
area to apply to the court urgently
before capacity elsewhere in the system
becomes exhausted. Therefore, we grant
permission to appeal both to Sanmani and
the Home Secretary against the grant of
the interim injunction.
