The claimant had had her application for housing as a homeless person rejected by the council, and now said that it was unfair that the same officer had also rejected her subsequent application for temporary housing pending her appeal.
Held: The Act intended the nomination of officers to make such decisions, and imposed specific rules where a review of a rejection was required. There was no requirement that a different officer should consider the applications by this claimant, and a fair-minded and informed observer would not see any real possibility of bias.
