Abstract

Reviews the need for courts to conduct proportionality evaluations under the European Convention on Human Rights 1950 art.8 in residential possession proceedings following the Supreme Court decisions in Manchester City Council v Pinnock and Hounslow LBC v Powell, and considers, with reference to subsequent case law, how such proportionality reviews have been applied in practice. Examines key features of five relevant judgments, including the Queen's Bench Division decision in Southend on Sea BC v Armour and the Court of Appeal rulings in Thurrock BC v West and Birmingham City Council v Lloyd.
