The claimants were residents of care homes. The homes were owned by charitable companies providing housing and support for persons with mental disorders. The company’s had altered the agreements so that the claimants became assured tenants. The claimants appealed the refusal of the respondents to de-register the homes.
Held: The appeals were dismissed. The crucial question was whether the homes continued to provide services which came within the ambit of the Act. If they did, then whether the services were provided by means of a licence or an assured tenancy would not make a fundamental difference.
