Today's Highlighted Video Story: R (on the application of Imam) (Respondent) v London Borough of Croydon (Appellant) - When should a court make a mandatory order against a local housing authority to enforce a duty owed to a homeless individual under s193(2) of the Housing Act 1996 (the "1996 Act")? In particular, should the court take account of either: (a) budgetary constraints imposed on the housing authority; or (b) the availability of housing under a non-secured tenancy under Part VII of the 1996 Act (as opposed to a secured tenancy under Part VI of the 1996 Act). The Supreme Court unanimously dismisses the appeal.
