Our members specialise in all aspects of homelessness law, including statutory appeals under the Housing Act 1996 and judicial review challenges. We are currently involved in challenges to decisions on priority need following the Supreme Court decision in Hotak v LB Southwark [2015] UKSC 30. Again, we have been involved in leading cases (e.g. Sharif v Camden LBC [2013] UKSC 10, Yemshaw v Hounslow LBC [2011] UKSC 3, Makisi v Birmingham CC [2011] EWCA Civ 355, Akhtar v Birmingham CC [2011] HLR 28, Holmes-Moorhouse v LB Richmond [2009] UKHL 7)

Housing may be limited but access should be fair. We are available to advise and represent in challenges both to individual allocation decisions, and wider challenges to allocation schemes, both in judicial review and alongside related challenges in possession proceedings. See Birmingham CC v Qasim [2009] EWCA Civ 1080.
