The Court of Appeal refuses judicial review in determining that, whilst the State failed to provide adequate accommodation for a class of asylum seekers who presented themselves between December 2023 and May 2024, placing them in a situation of extreme material poverty, the Commission did not establish that this situation undermined the physical and/or mental health of the individuals or put them in a state of degradation incompatible with human dignity. Consequently, while the provision for accommodation was insufficient, it did not constitute a breach of Article 1 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union.
