ECHR rules that UK violated human rights of evicted applicants
- Details
The applicants evicted as a result of the House of Lords decision in LB Lambeth v Kay had their human rights violated, the European Court of Human Rights has ruled.
The Strasbourg Court said the inability of the applicants to argue a defence in the county court based on their personal circumstances breached their rights under Article 8(1) of the European Convention on Human Rights – the right to respect for their home.
The ECHR was at pains to point out that it was considering the law as it stood before the decision of Birmingham CC v Doherty.
