CA 27 April 2001. In February 1998 D was granted a weekly non-secure tenancy of a property by the local housing authority, pending a decision as to whether she was intentionally homeless. In December 1998 the property was transferred to the claimant P. In September 1999 the local authority decided that D was intentionally homeless and P commenced proceedings for possession under the Housing Act 1988 s21(4). D applied for an adjournment on the grounds that the order contravened her right to respect for her private and family life and her home, under the European Convention of Human Rights Articles 6 and 8. D also contended that this involved interpreting the Housing Act 1988 s21(4) in a way that was incompatible with the Human Rights Act 1998.. Appeal dismissed. http://porch.ccta.gov.uk/courtser/judgements.nsf/Search/D4B4124CEB03456480256A40004131B7?OpenDocument
