finally the law gets something right!

Law Lords have ruled against a family of travellers in a row that could have stopped evictions around Britain. The family had argued their human rights were breached when they were forced to leave a recreation field owned by Leeds City Council.
Last year the Court of Appeal dismissed the case, saying councils were legally entitled to take back their own land.
Seven Law Lords unanimously backed that decision, saying the land could never have been considered a home.
The Local Government Association, an umbrella organisation for councils, said the ruling was a "huge relief".
