“A local housing authority’s discharge of its statutory duty to rehouse a homeless person in priority need where that person had refused an offer of suitable accommodation could not be challenged other than by administrative review subject appeal to the county court, which was the equivalent of judicial review rather than a full rehearing appeal, even where the sole issue for the reviewing officer was a simple one of primary fact. The European Court of Human Rights’ decision in Tsfayo v United Kingdom [2007] LGR 1 did not change the relevant law.”

In deciding the amount of any cap on liability the agreed success fee for a conditional fee agreement was relevant and as a result was to be disclosed to the court.”
