NEW HOUSING CASES

London Borough of Lambeth v Grant & Ors (Rev 1) [2021] EWHC 1962 (QB) (12 July 2021)

This case looked at whether a possession order, sought by a local authority as freehold owners of Clapham Common, would interfere with the Article 10 and 11 rights of two groups who had occupied the land primarily in protest against what they say are the restrictive measures introduced to address the Covid-19 pandemic.

Facts
The London Borough of Lambeth (“the Council”) brought a claim as freehold owners of Clapham Common (“the Common”). A small part of the Common was being occupied by individuals who had set up a camp. There were two groups involved. One was the Campaign for Truth and Justice, the other was “Lovedown”. The camp was first established on 18 June 2021. The Council’s case was that the camp established by the respondents was generating complaints from local residents and sought to recover possession. The first respondent, Colin Grant, established the Campaign for Truth and Justice. The respondents were not legally represented and appeared in person. It was the respondents’ case that as members of the Campaign for Truth and Justice, the occupants were immune from any form of law enforcement, and referred to “Clause 61 of Magna Carta 1215 and Article 7 of the Human Rights Act 1998”.

Submissions
For the Council, Mr Tempest submitted that it was clear that the respondents were trespassing and that the Council as a freeholder had the private law right to recover possession, and only if there was a public law defence could that right be defeated. Mr Tempest asserted that given that neither Magna Carta nor Article 7 European Convention on Human Rights (“ECHR”) was relevant, the only potential reason for refusing to grant possession would be to avoid a disproportionate interference with the rights of the occupiers under Articles 10 and/or 11 ECHR. If the respondents’ rights under Articles 10 and/or 11 were engaged, it would then be necessary to balance these rights against those of the Council and the wider public. Reference was made to the factors set out by Lord Neuberger in City of London Corporation v Samede [2012] EWCA Civ 160, [2012] PTSR 1624, [39], and recently endorsed in Director of Public Prosecutions v Ziegler [2021] UKSC 23, [71], as follows:

• The extent to which the continuation of the protest would breach domestic law.
• The importance of the precise location to the protestors.
• The duration of the protest.
• The degree to which the protesters occupy the land, and the extent of the actual interference the protest causes to the right of others, including the property rights of the owners of the land, and the rights of any members of the public.

The first respondent relied on Article 7 ECHR, which he submitted was inspired by the principles underlying Article 61 of Magna Carta; the land being occupied had been seized as a partial remedy for the wrongs he claimed to have suffered at the hands of various emanations of the State and legal professionals, and if he were compensated for those wrongs, he would be prepared to return the land being occupied. Contrastingly, it was also the respondents’ case that, in occupying the Common, they were very much protesting, in particular, against the restrictive measures introduced to address the Covid-19 pandemic.

The court was alive to the fact that the government had announced the proposed easing of restrictions from 19 July 2021.

The Law
Articles 10 and 11 ECHR guarantee respectively the right to freedom of expression and the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and free association with others. In each case, a public authority may interfere with the right if the interference is “prescribed by law” and “necessary in a democratic society” for “the prevention of disorder or crime” or “the protection of the… rights of others” (Article 10) or “the protection of the rights and freedoms of others” (Article 11).

The Judgment
The court found that the Council was entitled to an order for possession, on the basis that even though the grant of the possession order sought would interfere with the Article 10 and 11 rights of the occupiers, the extent of the interference was limited, given that (i) they had already been able to express their views through continuous occupation of the site for the best part of a month; (ii) there was no evidence that the Common had any special significance to them; and (iii) an order for possession would not prevent them from continuing to express their views and engage with the public by means other than camping on the Common.

Against the interference with the respondents’ Article 10 and 11 rights, the court found it necessary to weigh the facts that the occupation: (i) interferes with important rights of the public to use and enjoy part of a public open space, which have been and are of special significance in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic; (ii) is in breach of byelaws made by a democratically accountable authority under powers conferred by Parliament; and (iii) is likely to make other users of the space understandably resentful and aggrieved and to undermine respect for the byelaws more generally. The court found that these matters taken together justified the conclusion that there is a “pressing social need” to make the possession order. The limited interference with the respondents’ Article 10 and 11 rights was found to be justifiable and proportionate.

The respondents did not invite the court to make any order other than one granting full possession forthwith, however, the court nonetheless considered, of its own motion, whether any lesser order would suffice, in accordance with the principles in Samede [2012] EWCA Civ 160, [2012] PTSR 1624 at [51]-[55]. The court subsequently considered whether to make an order permitting the occupation to continue until 19 July 2021 on the basis that the respondents might perceive its continuation to be unnecessary after that date. However, the court ultimately found that even if the planned relaxation of restrictions on 19 July 2021 went ahead as announced, there could be no certainty that any of the occupiers would ultimately take the view that it was unnecessary to continue the occupation after that date.

Molloy v BPHA Limited [2021] EWCA Civ 1035 (09 July 2021)

Facts
The Appellant had engaged in racial harassment of his neighbour (‘Ms B’) and her family. Ms B complained to the police and her housing association, who is the landlord of both properties. Ms B was advised to install CCTV to obtain evidence, which she did.

Ms B obtained evidence concerning nine incidents of repeated racial and sexual abuse in full view of the CCTV camera, with additional allegations not caught on camera. The housing authority obtained an interim injunction to prohibit the Appellant and his wife from using racist, offensive, or abusive language or gestures against Ms B or any member of her family or visitors and intimidating or attempting to intimidate Ms B, any member of her family or visitors.

The Appellant continued the racial abuse which was subsequently viewed by Ms B on the CCTV. The housing association took committal proceedings under the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 for a breach of the order. The proceedings related to six alleged breaches of the interim injunction, five of which had been recorded on CCTV footage. HHJ Bloom committed the Appellant to a sentence of imprisonment, suspended for two years. The injunction was extended to include any abusive language or gestures in the public area, or communal pathway outside the home. The Appellant appealed the decision on two grounds.

Grounds of appeal

Ground 1

The judge was misled by her disapprobation of the content of the words into deciding that these words were motivated by an intention to intimidate because:

a) There was no factual evidence identified by the judge which could have entitled her to be sure to the criminal standard that Mr Molloy was deliberately 'speaking to the camera' rather than – as he appeared to be doing – having a private conversation with his wife.

b) The general finding that Mr Molloy was generally aware that there was a CCTV camera applied in equal measure to all four incidents as well as to a fifth incident involving spitting. But either Mr Molloy specifically had the CCTV camera in mind or he did not, there was no specific evidence that on this occasion he was any more alert to its presence than on the four other occasions in which the judge had rightly found that she could not be sure that he had intended to intimidate or to perform to the camera.

c) The judge had undue regard to the fact that there was 'no good reason' to say these words, which was irrelevant to the question of whether or not they were intended to intimidate.

d) In placing weight on the fact that these words were 'directed at this family', the judge appears to have allowed the meaning of 'directed at' to bleed across from denoting the referent of the speech to denoting the interlocutor of the speech.

Ground 2

The judge varied the existing injunction by inserting into it the words "Using abusive language, in particular racially abusive language or abusive gestures… in the public area outside [the property] or on the communal pathway." Although this pursued the good intention of making the injunction clear, in so doing the judge wrongly infringed the Appellant’s reasonable expectation of privacy when talking outdoors beyond the earshot of other people, because it required him to modify and alter his behaviour for the benefit of persons eavesdropping on his private conversations in a public place.

Decision
Jackson LJ stated that ground 1 was hopeless as the Appellant would be required to prove that the finding was not reasonably open to a judge on the evidence. Jackson LJ could not see a credible alternative to the finding made by the judge; he did however respectfully disagree that the behaviour alleged by the Appellant could not amount to a breach of the first paragraph of the injunction. Jackson LJ found that ‘using… abusive language or gestures against’ could take place through CCTV footage, without the behaviour being face-to-face, although there was no cross-appeal on this point.

In relation to ground 2, it was raised on the Appellant’s behalf that installing CCTV outside the property has disproportionately interfered with the Appellant’s reasonable expectation of privacy, in accordance with Article 8. Jackson LJ found that any submissions relating to this matter were misguided. If there was no history of anti-social behaviour, there would be no justification for CCTV use, however that was not the case. Jackson LJ found therefore that the conditions for intervention were satisfied and both necessary and proportionate. The Article 8 right of Ms B and her family to respect for their family life overwhelmingly outweighed any considerations of privacy which the Appellant and his wife would normally be entitled to expect.

Jackson LJ found the complaint about the use of CCTV was patently overblown. The use of the CCTV was only for Ms B to defend herself and her family from the Appellant’s behaviour. Ms B was not required to hide in her home leaving the Appellant to continue to flout court orders without the inconvenience of being recorded. Ms B installed the CCTV upon advice of the police, which Jackson LJ found was completely appropriate.

In a notable comment in conclusion of the appeal, Jackson LJ stated: “To most people, the obligation to behave in a civilised manner in a shared area in front of their home would not be very burdensome, but the imposition of an order of this kind must still be justified… In my judgment, it was.”

The Appellant’s appeal was dismissed, with costs.

HOUSING LAW CONSULTATIONS

Domestic abuse support within safe accommodation: statutory guidance and regulations consultation
In this consultation, the MHCLG seeks views on the draft statutory guidance and the following draft statutory instruments:

• The Domestic Abuse Support (Relevant Accommodation) Regulations 2021
• The Domestic Abuse (Local Authority Strategies) Regulations 2021

On 29 April the Domestic Abuse Act 2021 received Royal Assent. The Act includes within Part 4 (sections 57-61) new duties on tier 1 local authorities in England relating to the provision of support for victims and their children residing within relevant safe accommodation and a duty on tier 2 authorities to co-operate with tier 1 authorities.

The Act also places a requirement to consult on the statutory guidance and two regulations. Under section 60 of Part 4 of the Act, the Secretary of State is required to consult on and issue statutory guidance to assist local authorities in exercising their new functions. Once finalised, local authorities will need to have regard to the guidance in exercising their functions.

Warm Home Discount: better targeted support from 2022
The Warm Home Discount scheme obliges participating energy suppliers to provide rebates to their customers, to reduce energy bills for low-income and vulnerable households and tackle fuel poverty.

This consultation proposes to expand and reform the scheme in England and Wales until 2026, in line with the commitments announced in the Energy White Paper in 2020. The objective of the reforms is to improve the fuel poverty targeting rate of the scheme and ensure more fuel poor households can receive rebates on their energy bills automatically, through the use of data matching. The Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy would particularly welcome responses from energy suppliers and charities and other organisations focusing on fuel poverty and vulnerable people.
