A housing association set up to house Orthodox Jews has
again seen a discrimination claim against it dismissed in court. The legal
battle between north London-based Agudas Israel Housing Association (AIHA) and

that Hackney Council should not have a nominations agreement with AIHA because
its policy only to house Orthodox Jews is “discriminatory”. It was argued in
the High Court that Orthodox Jews do not face any disadvantages that are not
faced by other applicants for social housing in the borough but were being
allowed to “jump the queue”. Read more on Inside Housing.
