EL, R (On the Application Of) v The Royal Borough of Kensington And Chelsea

LIZ DAVIES KC AND TIM BALDWIN (instructed by Hodge Jones and Allen LLP) for the Claimant IAN PEACOCK (instructed by Bi-Borough Legal Services) for the Defendant Hearing dates: 6 December 2022 ____________________

(1) a report from Dr Heke which stated that a move to suitable accommodation was " central to his capacity to engage in treatment ";

(2) a letter from Sandra Osagiede (a Mental Health Nurse in the Grenfell Health and Wellbeing team) which stated that "a move to suitable accommodation where [EL] feels safe, accepted and settled would improve his emotional health and wellbeing "; and

(3) a letter from Ms Isaza which set out the history, described the incident on 13 August 2020 and concluded " in my professional view, the impact of the history of conflict with the neighbours, in addition to the two threatening incidents which were reported to police, has had a negative effect on [EL]'s mental health and his motivation to maintain his tenancy. Any intervention, at this point, with the aim of helping him maintain his tenancy, is scuppered by the fact that he feels he cannot settle in his property and that he is unsafe ."
