Three senior judges are due to rule on whether to overturn a temporary injunction preventing asylum seekers being housed at the Bell Hotel in Epping. Somani Hotels, owner of the Essex hotel, and the Home Office are challenging a High Court decision that would stop 138 asylum seekers from remaining there beyond 12 September. Dozens of councils, including Labour-run authorities, are seeking legal advice on using hotels for asylum accommodation, creating potential nationwide implications. Epping council obtained the interim injunction after alleging Somani Hotels breached planning rules. Protesters gathered after an inhabitant faced a charge of sexually assaulting a teenage girl. The Independent states it relies on donations and keeps its reporting free of paywalls.
