Mr R was evicted from his “move on” accommodation which was never going to be his forever home. Solihull found that he was evicted due to his behaviour and was therefore intentionally homeless. The decision was upheld on review.

The Legal Aid Lawyer of the Year awards (the ‘LALYs’) organised by the Legal Aid Practitioners Group awards took place on the evening of 7th July 2020. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, this year’s awards took place remotely via YouTube. It was wonderful and rather awe inspiring to hear about the incredible work of so many committed legal aid practitioners working around the UK. CLP would like to congratulate all nominees and winners in the various categories.
