: Current AwarenessDoherty v Birmingham City Council (Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government intervening) - WLR Daily
By sally
“The definition of ‘protected site’ in s 5(1) of the Mobile Homes Act 1983, in excluding gipsies from the protection of the Act, was incompatible with an occupier?s right under art 8 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms to respect for his home. The occupier?s case should be remitted to the judge to consider whether the local authority?s decision to seek possession had been reasonable.”
