Regina (Clue) v Birmingham City Council and another (Shelter intervening) [2010] EWCA Civ 460; [2010] WLR (D) 109

“Apart from hopeless or abusive cases, a local authority faced with an application for support and accommodation pending the determination of an arguable application for leave to remain on human rights grounds, should not refuse assistance if that would have the effect of requiring the person to leave the United Kingdom thereby forfeiting his claim.”
