An injunction that is set to temporarily block asylum seekers from being housed at an Essex hotel could spark further protests, the Court of Appeal has been told.

Somani Hotels, which owns the Bell Hotel in Epping, and the Home Office are seeking to challenge a High Court ruling that will stop 138 asylum seekers from being housed there beyond September 12.
