Boreh v London Borough of Ealing [2008] EWCA Civ 1176, [2008] All ER (D) 291 (Oct)
For the purposes of s 193 of the Housing Act 1996, the suitability of offered accommodation is not to be judged exclusively by reference to the condition of the accommodation at the time of the offer; the assessment of its suitability can and should also take into account any adaptations or alterations that are, at that time, proposed to be made. However, any such proposals would have to be the subject of assurances that the applicant could fairly regard as certain, binding and enforceable.
