I am in the Admin Court this afternoon for a permission hearing. Case concerns council estate block with a lift that consistently breaks down and Hackney Council's treatment of a disabled tenant with mobility needs who cannot access his second floor flat without a lift. #Discrimination #PublicLaw

First-tier Tribunal accepted argument that my disabled benefits client was not notified properly about the duty to disclose. Her overpayment of £17k, reduced significantly due to technical arguments about calculation of income, is not recoverable as a result! #WeflareBenefits #PublicLaw

Just been granted permission to bring a judicial review claim which the Legal Aid Agency said had poor merits. LAA refused to overturn their decision on review and appeal and only reversed their decision when a detailed LBA was sent by my sols. Access to justice can be undermined in “hidden” ways.

🥳Eviction stopped! A HASL family were facing a no-fault eviction from their private rented home. With the help of @southwarklawcentre.bsky.social @jogilvieharris.bsky.social the judge threw out the landlord's case and our members have won more time in their home! Hurray for landlord licensing!

Thread from last evening in the progress of the deportations court order case. Yes, those watching may be frustrated at the judge not yet imposing sanctions. But he is going about this in exactly the right way. These things take considerable skill and patience.

You all have the benefit here of watching, in real time, an experienced savvy judge close down slowly and methodically every avenue of escape for the US government. This is an outstanding forensic exercise. They are becoming cornered. Keep watching.

Successful application to have a possession order and warrant of eviction set aside today. Private landlord did not validly serve claim form on “all other occupiers”. Anyway, r. 3.1(7) discretion exercised because no notice of hearing and defence that NTQs don’t end assured tenancies. #HousingLaw
