I171Meaning of vulnerable in section 70
1
A person is vulnerable as a result of a reason mentioned in paragraph (c) or (j) of section 70(1) if, having regard to all the circumstances of the person's case—
a
the person would be less able to fend for himself or herself (as a result of that reason) if the person were to become street homeless than would an ordinary homeless person who becomes street homeless, and
b
this would lead to the person suffering more harm than would be suffered by the ordinary homeless person;
this subsection applies regardless of whether or not the person whose case is being considered is, or is likely to become, street homeless.
2
In subsection (1), “street homeless” (“digartref ac ar y stryd”), in relation to a person, means that the person has no accommodation available for the person's occupation in the United Kingdom or elsewhere, which the person—
a
is entitled to occupy by virtue of an interest in it or by virtue of an order of a court,
b
has an express or implied licence to occupy, or
c
occupies as a residence by virtue of any enactment or rule of law giving the person the right to remain in occupation or restricting the right of another person to recover possession;
and sections 55 and 56 do not apply to this definition.
