We are proud to have successfully secured a positive outcome for our client in a challenging succession case. The London Borough of Tower Hamlets had refused our client’s application to succeed his late grandfather’s secure tenancy, citing insufficient evidence of both the familial relationship (due to adoption) and residential occupation in the 12 months prior to the tenant’s passing.

Despite these hurdles, our team built a strong case, presenting compelling legal arguments and supporting evidence that ultimately led to possession claim being dismissed by the District Judge after two days trial hearing

Another testament to our commitment to justice and perseverance in complex housing matters.

Supreme Court upheld the Court of Appeal's ruling that Rwanda is not a 'safe third country' for asylum seekers sent from the UK The case challenged the government's policy of sending asylum-seekers to Rwanda, asserting that it is unlawful due to serious deficiencies in Rwanda's asylum system that put them at risk of being returned to a country where they would face ill treatment.

The Supreme Court, agreeing with the Court of Appeal, concluded that there are substantial grounds for believing that individuals removed to Rwanda face a real risk of ill treatment. This is because there is a real risk that Rwanda will not determine their asylum claims properly and, as a result, will return them to a country of origin where their life or freedom is threatened.
