Right to Rent - The Secretary of State for the Home Department -v- The Joint Council for The Welfare of Immigrants

April 21st, the Government won its appeal against appeal the removal of Right to Rent, which means the scheme will stay in place. Appeal Court Justices Davis, Henderson and Hickinbottom agreed that the scheme was discriminatory, but found that it did not violate human rights legislation. The Court of Appeal therefore, ruled in favour of the government’s controversial Right To Rent scheme, overturning a decision reached last year by the High Court.
