NI Housing Executive v Shannon McGreevy [2025] NI County Court - Dan successfully acted on behalf of the Defendant in proceedings initiated by the NIHE seeking her eviction, on the basis that succession cannot take place twice under Article 26 of the Housing (NI) Order 1983. The Defendant raised defences under Article 8 ECHR and the public law duty of reasonable inquiry imposed upon decision-makers such as the NIHE. The Order for eviction was subsequently refused by the Court on the grounds the NIHE had failed to comply with this duty.
