Court of Appeal to Rule on Landmark Homelessness Judicial Review Case
In the article we hear from Amandeep Bains of Duncan Lewis about a pivotal judicial review case which is challenging a Council’s refusal to consider a fresh homelessness application for the firm’s client. The Court of Appeal will address whether an expert report constitutes a ‘new fact’ for such applications and if councils can lawfully refuse to accept new evidence. The case, with potential national impact, could reshape how local authorities handle homelessness claims and may reach the Supreme Court.
