Kay v. Lambeth LBC was a legal case involving claims for possession by Lambeth LBC against a "group of former short-life occupiers".[1][2][3][4][5] The ruling, which was in the plaintiff's favour, in effect stated that homeless individuals who have been granted a sub-licence allowing them to occupy accommodation temporarily passed to a housing trust by a local authority, do not, as a result become secured tenants of the local authority.

Thus, it was for the courts to decide how in the first instance the principles expounded in Strasbourg should be applied in the special context of national legislation, practice and social and other considerations.
