Article 8 Interim duty to accommodate in case of apparent priority need
Northern Ireland
If the Executive has reason to believe that an applicant may be homeless and have a priority need, it shall secure that accommodation is made available for his occupation pending a decision as a result of its inquiries under Article 7.
The duty under paragraph (1) ceases when the Executive's decision is notified to the applicant even if the applicant requests a review of that decision under Article 11A.
But the Executive may secure that accommodation is available for the applicant's occupation pending a decision on the review.
