Ugiagbe v The London Borough of Southwark [2009] EWCA Civ 31, [2009] All ER (D) 95 (Feb)
The use of the phrase “good faith” in s 191 of the Housing act 1996 carries a connotation of some kind of impropriety, or some element of misuse or abuse of the legislation. Failure to follow informal advice to go to a local housing authority’s homeless persons unit when threatened with eviction, did not make an applicant intentionally homeless.
