AI summary
The Western Cape High Court considered whether a homeless person’s removal from a night shelter amounted to an eviction under the PIE Act, and whether the shelter bore constitutional and statutory obligations of the kind claimed. The Court found that the Malmesbury shelter was not the applicant’s home for PIE purposes and dismissed the application. The Court also ordered that the late filing of the Haven’s answering affidavit be condoned and made no order as to costs.
This appears to concern the treatment of night shelter accommodation, eviction under the PIE Act, and the extent of obligations of a private shelter provider.
