Details

The Public Sector Equality Duty has generated an enormous amount of litigation in recent years. Even the reported decisions themselves regularly complain about the sheer volume of authorities that have been cited by the parties in each case. This book draws together the threads of the case law and explains the key principles of the PSED as it arises in the context of housing law.

The book provides essential practical guidance for lawyers involved in social housing possession claims, homelessness appeals, and allocations and policy challenges. As well as explaining the principles of law, book looks at the important issues of evidence-gathering and litigation strategy in the unusual context of an ‘ongoing’ process duty.
