Paragon v Neville [2018] EWCA Civ 1712

Summary

The Court of Appeal  held that where proportionality had been considered when a suspended possession order was made there was no need for an additional proportionality inquiry under the Equality Act 2010 when the Order was enforced by way of a warrant for possession. The eviction was not therefore discriminatory.
