The applicant, and her children, had lived in England, but returned to Pakistan for six months. On their return they first lived with their parents, but then sought housing as homeless. She appealed the finding that she was intentionally homeless. The notice giving the reasons under a statutory provision had to be proper, adequate and intelligible and must be read in the context of the statutory provision itself, and to the particular facts. In this case the letter was inadequate, and the decision was set aside.
