The A to Z of Housing Discrimination Case Law: R (FG) v Kensington and Chelsea

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 eighth podcast, Iris Ferber KC and Carolina Bax discuss R (FG) v Royal London Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, heard by the High Court in 2024: an important reasonable adjustments case, which answers some fundamental questions in reasonable adjustments claims relating to housing – including the crucial question of whether Part 3 of the Equality Act (“Public Functions”) or Part 4 (“Premises”) applies to local authority landlords; what are the differences between those two  regimes; and why it really, really matters.
