Gina Adair must wait six weeks on house decision
The wife of jailed loyalist Johnny Adair will have to wait six weeks to see if she has secured a council house in the north of England.
Gina Adair applied to Bolton Council for a home in March but was turned down on account of information supplied by Manchester police that members of the Adair household were engaged in various types of "anti-social and unacceptable behaviour" in Belfast.
She subsequently took the council to court over the decision.
In her defence, housing charity Shelter, which is fighting Mrs Adair's case, told Manchester's civil courts yesterday she should not have been refused a council house because there was no evidence that Mrs Adair herself had been involved in such anti-social behaviour.
Judgment on the case has been reserved until 30 September.
