SCHEDULE 10ORDERS FOR POSSESSION ON DISCRETIONARY GROUNDS ETC.: REASONABLENESS

Introductory

I11

This Schedule applies for the purpose of determining whether it is reasonable—

a

to make an order for possession under section 209 (breach of contract) or 210 (estate management grounds), or

The court, in determining whether it is reasonable to make such an order or decision, or to make any other decision available to it, must (amongst other things) have regard to the circumstances set out in paragraphs 4 to 13 to the extent that the court considers them relevant (and to the extent that it is not otherwise required to have regard to those matters; for example, under the Human Rights Act 1998 (c. 42)).

Paragraph 14 sets out a circumstance, concerning local authority assistance with homelessness, which the court should not have regard to (subject to any duty to have regard to that circumstance to which the court is subject).
