Statistics relating to the operation of the homeless persons legislation in Scotland: quarters ending 30 June and 30 September 2011, also including households in temporary accommodation as at 31 December 2011.
Footnotes
1. The proportion of cases assessed as homeless and accorded priority need is a National Indicator. Further information is available at: http://www.scotland.gov.uk/About/scotPerforms/indicator/housingneed. The assessments chapter of this bulletin from paragraph 16 onwards explains the indicator. Chart 8 and table 4 give full details for each council area.
2. There was a reduction in repossession cases being submitted to the courts in December 2010. This follows the Supreme Court judgement on 24 November 2010, in the case of Royal Bank of Scotland v Wilson and others, after which lenders withdrew repossession cases from the courts, in order to restart the process, so that cases could proceed as required by the judgement. Cases are likely to be resubmitted to the courts, once lenders have issued the required Calling Up Notices
