UK council loses bid to clear controversial "asylum seekers" from hotel

The injunction application was opposed by Britain’s Home Office (interior ministry), which argued that an injunction requiring their removal could have a substantial impact on its ability to fulfil its legal duty to provide accommodation, and could provoke further “chaotic” protests.

Judge Tim Mould ruled that the current use of the Bell Hotel was in breach of planning law but refused to grant an injunction, citing in part the, "continuing need to source contingency accommodation for ‘asylum seekers’ from hotels".
