Private sector Art 8 – another one?

News reaches us here at NL towers of another private sector Art.8 case (following Khela v Dainter, our note here). Details are sketchy, but it seems that Central London County Court was dealing with a possession claim against squatters. The CJ is said to have held that Art.8 applied to the possession claim (i.e. the squatters could argue that it was their home and the eviction was disproportionate) but that, on the facts, it was proportionate to make an order. Interestingly, the CJ has given permission to appeal.

Any more news would be appreciated.
