This is a fact-specific loss, not a green light for asylum hotels. Councils still have tools: - Targeted s.187B injunctions with stronger evidence; and – s.183 stop notices where the use is recent. Reach out for support, we’ll triage your case.

Still trying to wrap our heads around how scrapping the injunction reduces protests. If closing the hotel “incentivises” protests, what do you think keeping it open does? Make it make sense.

Disgraceful. You won by stating that the right of illegal migrants to free hotels is more important than the rights of the British people.

Exactly. The Court deems accommodating asylum seekers the “most important factor” and gives residents’ harms “limited weight”, then points councils & police to restraining local protests instead of stopping hotel use. Read the full judgment yourself 👇 judiciary.uk/wp-content/upl…

Fox context, the Court of Appeal routinely refuses permission to appeal as it generally regards UK Supreme Court best placed to determine when permission is appropriate.
