Ratio Decidendi
A person who has been provided with accommodation under the homelessness provisions does not cease to be homeless if that accommodation is not suitable or reasonable to continue to occupy.
حقائق
The appellant was provided with temporary accommodation but argued it was unsuitable due to overcrowding and condition. She sought a review of the homelessness decision.
فیصلے کا خلاصہ
The Supreme Court considered the interrelationship between the duty to accommodate and the suitability of accommodation, holding that the local authority must ensure accommodation is suitable when discharging its homelessness duties.
