The claimant challenged the defendant’s finding that she had become homeless by giving up accommodation in 2000 which it would have been reasonable for her to continue to occupy, and remained so homeless ever since. Permission was given for a second, appeal to raise important and undecided issues about the correct test for determining whether a previous act of becoming homeless intentionally has ceased to have causal effect in relation to the present state of homelessness, so as to render the present state also one of intentional homelessness.
