Asylum seekers to remain at Epping hotel after court of appeal revokes ban

Judges say decision to allow injunction was ‘seriously flawed’ and contained several ‘errors in principle’

More than 130 asylum seekers will be allowed to remain in the Bell hotel in Epping after the court of appeal overturned a high court ban on housing them there.

Three judges on Friday set aside a temporary injunction granted to Epping Forest district council last week, saying the decision to allow it was “seriously flawed” and contained several “errors in principle”.
