Abstract

An English court has upheld the decision to relocate an asylum seeker living with AIDS from London to Leeds. The court decided that the public interest in housing asylum seekers where accommodation is available outweighed the woman's interest in remaining in London, where she had an established support network, including medical care. The government has undertaken not to implement the order until her application for asylum is ruled on.
