The A to Z of Housing Discrimination Case Law: Laidley v Metropolitan Housing Trust

From Akerman-Livingstone to Z v Hackney, learn about the cases and the principles which have shaped Housing Discrimination since the Equality Act 2010 came into force.  In each of our podcasts, we will discuss one case: its facts, its context, and what principles it decided.

In this fourth podcast, Iris Ferber KC and Matthew Timm discuss Laidley v Metropolitan Housing Trust, heard by the Court of Appeal in 2025: an important case about Equality Act assessors.

As part of our ongoing journey to ensure our website and marketing initiatives are as accessible as possible, all our podcasts will be available in a transcription format - The A to Z of Housing Discrimination Case Law - Laidley v Metropolitan Housing Trust transcript. ​
