City of Lincoln Council v Bird [2015] EWHC 843 (QB), [2015] All ER (D) 109 (Apr)
The local authority was refused a possession order in relation to a property let to the defendant, and appealed. The Queen’s Bench Division allowed the appeal on the basis that the judge had not addressed the requisite statutory factors when deciding that it was not reasonable to make an order for possession under s 85A of the Housing Act 1985.
