Craig Keenan from Community Law Partnership has added another comment to my original post on Omar -v- Birmingham CC to the effect that funding may be forthcoming for a House of Lords appeal. Also the key issue, which is whether Councils can rely on s.193(5) – suitability – rather than s.193(7) – suitability and reasonable to accept – when discharging duty on refusal of an offer of accommodation, may well come up in other cases headed to the Court of Appeal.
Hopefully, a resolution will be achieved soon, as Omar -v- Birmingham was not at all clear in its suggestions.
