CA-2024-002348 - [2025] EWCA Civ 1390

On 20 February 2023, the appellant and his family were awarded 200 points under the respondent’s allocation scheme as they were homeless and living in accommodation provided by the respondent.

On 16 March 2023, the appellant sought a review of the decision to award him 200 points. The reviewing officer considered the submissions made on behalf of the appellant who was contending that he should be awarded reasonable preference on the grounds of health and wellbeing. She took into account the fact that the appellant’s wife had been diagnosed with a number of health conditions. She was satisfied that the decision to award 200 points was correct. This is the decision that is the subject of the claim for judicial review.
