Harrow LBC v Qazi (2004) 1 AC 983
Mr Qazi had held a joint tenancy of a council house with his wife. Later his wife moved out and he remarried.
He applied for a new tenancy which was not granted. The Council was entitled to refuse to grant the new tenancy and then tried to recover possession from Mr Qazi. He relied on Article 8 of the ECHR arguing that he had a right to a home.
In this case the Council had an unqualified right to repossess the property. The House of Lords ruled that it is not possible to rely in the alternative on any rights acquired under the ECHR.
