Government wins appeal to block closure of Epping asylum hotel

The Court of Appeal ruled the High Court erred in principle, allowing 138 asylum seekers to remain at the Bell Hotel amid ongoing protests and legal disputes over planning laws.

  • A temporary injunction to block asylum seekers from being housed at the Bell Hotel in Epping has been overturned by the Court of Appeal.
  • The Court sided with Somani Hotels and the Home Office, stating the High Court's original ruling was 'seriously flawed in principle.'
  • Epping Forest District Council claimed Somani Hotels breached planning rules regarding asylum seeker accommodation.
  • Lord Justice Bean indicated that the High Court's decision neglected the overall impact on asylum seeker capacity.
