Regina (Liverpool City Council) v Hillingdon London Borough Council and Another

Court of Appeal

“A local authority had failed to carry out its duty under section 20 of the Children Act 1989 when dealing with an asylum-seeker who claimed to be a child because it did not carry out an assessment of his welfare needs, or of the kind of accommodation that would be required to meet them.”
