I have been and remain extremely busy, but thankfully there has been nothing of significance to post about. I'm toying with a summary of the fascinating and now very, very lengthy comment thread on the Malcolm post, but that too will have to wait. While I am...
The Housing and Regeneration bill has been amended so that homeless applicants with families who are subject to immigration control will have that family count towards priority need. This will apply for UK/EU/Commonwealth citizens. Good. That will hopefully...
Gilboy, R (on the application of) v Liverpool City Council & Ors [2008] EWCA Civ 751 is the appeal from the Judical Revew decision noted in this previous post. The appeal, was by general consent, on one issue alone. Does the internal review procedure for...

Judgment just out Weaver (R) v London & Quadrant Housing Trust [2008] EWHC 1377 (Admin) Full notes tomorrow, but the headline is: L&Q is a public authority in its housing function for the purposes of Judicial Review. Use of ground 8 possession claims...
