Family
Destroy NLJ 157, 7296, p 1571 under “One Family; Two Homes”. The House of Lords has messed things up by reversing the Court of Appeal in Holmes-Moorhouse v Richmond-upon-Thames LBC [2009] UKHL 7, [2009] All ER (D) 36 (Feb). The relevant housing authority should not intervene on a shared residence application to argue against an order although it would be helpful for the court to know what accommodation, if any, the authority was likely to provide. Only in exceptional circumstances would it be reasonable to expect a child who had a home with one parent to be provided with a home with another under the Housing Act 1996, Pt VII so that he could reside with the other parent as well.
