Kay and Others v the United Kingdom
Mr Kay and seven others had short-life tenancies via Lambeth Council's arrangements with London and Quadrant Housing Trust
"The ruling said that ‘the loss of one’s home is the most extreme form of interference with the right to respect for the home’ . It added that anyone at risk of possession should, in principle, be able to have the decision balanced against the impact on their human rights by an independent tribunal ‘notwithstanding that, under domestic law, his right to occupation has come to an end’.
