UK Supreme Court Appeal
Oct 2025 - Edwards Duthie Shamash News, Housing and Social Welfare Blog
James Harrison, Partner and Head of the Housing Team at Edwards Duthie Shamash, represents Ms Sabhya Bano in her UK Supreme Court appeal concerning homelessness and local authority housing duties. The case examines whether a council’s duty to accommodate a homeless applicant ends automatically when a Private Rented Sector Offer is not accepted, or if a formal discharge of duty decision is required under homelessness law.
