‘In 1961 Alexander Bickel argued that the US Supreme Court should adopt what he called the “passive virtues” – minimising engagement with hard constitutional questions so as to keep its powder dry for the most essential issues. One such question that appears headed for the UK courts is the Home Secretary’s decision to use delegated powers in the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022 (“the 2022 Act”) to introduce the Public Order Act 1986 (Serious Disruption to the Life of the Community) Regulations 2023 (“the Regulations”) conferring additional powers on the police to impose restrictions on protests and processions. Notwithstanding existing concerns around the use of delegated legislation to introduce substantive and controversial policy, the unusual and serious constitutional issue here is that the Regulations make changes to the law specifically rejected by Parliament during debates on the 2022 Act.’

These protest tactics have included activists deliberately blocking highways by sitting down in the road, and often gluing themselves to its surface and/or locking themselves to each other to make their removal more time-consuming. IB has repeatedly stated that these protests will continue until its demands are met.’

‘Ms UO and her 3 children, aged 11, 5 and 3, were homeless and had applied to LB Redbridge. The family had NASS accommodation in the Tottenham area since 2021, after NASS accommodation in Croydon and West Ham from 2019. Ms UO’s elder children were enrolled in school in Tottenham and the youngest in the nursery attached to the school. MS UO had connections in Redbridge herself. Following Ms UO’s grant of asylum in 2022, the NASS accommodation ceased. She applied to Redbridge. The application stressed how important the children’s school was to them. She then did not hear anything from Redbridge until the day before her eviction from the NASS accommodation.’
