Asylum seekers will be allowed to remain living at the Bell Hotel in Epping, after the government won an appeal against a ruling ordering their removal.
Three senior judges ruled on Friday that the temporary injunction requiring asylum seekers to be removed from the site by September 12 can be set aside, and that the Home Secretary and owner of the hotel will be allowed to appeal.
Lord Justice Bean, sitting with Lady Justice Nicola Davies and Lord Justice Cobb, said: “We grant permission to appeal, both to Somani and to (the Home Office).”
