The government is demanding an appeal to the High Court’s refusal so that it allows to intervene in a hotel case, which was used for shelter seekers in the applying.
Earlier this week, the Epping Forest District Council was given a temporary prohibition to prevent people from placing people from placing them at Bell Hotel.
The court refused to try the last minute attempt to Home Secretary Yett Cooper to dismiss the council case.
If it is successful in its new appeal to be an interested party, then the government is expected to consider another appeal against the ruling itself.
Home Office Minister Dan Jarvis said that the government was committed to closure of all asylum hotels, but “we need to do so in a managed and order manner”.
“And that’s why we will appeal to this decision,” he said.
A senior source in the home office said that it was a case of “democracy” and the judiciary should not be able to tell the government where he can keep and not.
