Conditions for Anonymity Orders
The claimant sought judicial review of the Defendant’s failure to provide suitable accommodation under its duty under section 193(2) of the 1996 Act. The Defendant admitted breach of its statutory duty because the accommodation that it was providing was not suitable. The parties now disputed the relief: she contended that a mandatory order should be made requiring the Defendant to provide suitable accommodation to her. The Claimant also raised other challenges, including alleged breaches of the Equality Act and an allegation of unlawfully failing to determine the Claimant’s request to be given Band 1 priority under the Defendant’s housing allocation scheme.
The reasonable adjustments duty involves disciplined sequence of steps, a ‘stepped approach’.
