The Court of Appeal has overturned an injunction blocking asylum seekers from staying at the Bell Hotel in Epping, Essex.
Lord Justice Bean said the High Court ruling had errors, noting it ignored the impact on accommodation capacity. Asylum seekers can now remain at the hotel beyond 12 September, though a full trial is set for October.
The Home Office is now allowed to join the case. Reactions were split, with Kemi Badenoch calling it a “setback” and Nigel Farage blaming the ECHR.
Ministers say the aim is to close asylum hotels in an “orderly way.”
