Gilliatt The court issued a very public and highly deserved rebuke of LB Southwark’s ‘outrageous’ breach of an undertaking to a court not to enforce a possession order. The case is interesting in its detail of the systematic failures of the local authority. The court also gave the appellant leave to apply for damages, whilst expressing some doubts about the personal right to damages of the victim of a contemptuous action.
