Homelessness
Our Homelessness Department represents homeless people who need council
housing and claim to be in priority need. They may have children or be
pregnant, frail, physically or mentally sick, fleeing viiolence or have
just come out of care. We point them in the Council's direction, write to
support their case, obtain any supporting evidence, and can seek a review
if the Council rejects their application or insists the accommodation it
has provided is suitable. Where the Council reaches the same decision on
its review, if it is unsound we appeal to the county court. And where the
Housing or Social Services Department refuse to provide immediately needed
housing, in certain cases we can apply for judicial review and an
injunction, even in the evening when the Court has closed its doors.
The firm has an excellent record in this specialist area of law, and has
been involved in High Court and Court of Appeal cases which have been
written up in the law reports as they established new points of law.
