Regina v Birmingham City Council, Ex Parte Youngson (A Child) Times, 09 January 2001

QBD

Education, Benefits
The authority's policy not to make an educational grant unless the parents demonstrated hardship, that financial assistance was unavailable elsewhere, and that no alternative to the educational avenue chosen was available, or that other exceptional circumstances applied, was lawful. In this case the student's need for dancing tuition could be satisfied in a day school with supporting special tuition. The authority had a discretion about such payments, and in this case the discretion had not been exercised ultra vires. Parental preferences had to be balanced against unreasonable burdens on public expenditure.

CA

Benefits
The applicant had been in receipt of job-seeker's allowance. And had signed to say he would be available for work without restriction as to the hours or days of such availability. He was arrested and held for 42 hours before release. He was, by virtue of the regulations disentitled to the benefit for the entire week. This was despite any assumption of innocence, and the same result would have been reached had he been perhaps unavailable being stuck on a train for eight hours. The officers had no discretion, and should be given some.

Benefits, Housing
In order to claim housing support for increased mortgage interest arising on a move to a larger house, the test was whether the purpose was to provide extra sleeping accommodation for children of different sexes on reaching the age of ten. If that was not the sole purpose of the move, then additional benefit could not be claimed. The fact that the move may suit the family in other additional ways was not relevant.

Benefits
The applicants had taken a house to rent and claimed benefits. The rent officer determined that the rent was not excessive, but ten days later the housing benefits officer for the same authority determined that it was. Held: Although the wording of the section when re-enacted changed, and the Board had to impose some deduction, it retained a discretion as to the extent to which the rent might be reduced, and may allow for other factors which might affect the decision.

Milton Keynes Housing Benefit Review Board v Saxby Times, 07 June 2001; Gazette, 07 June 2001
3 Apr 2001
CA

Benefits, Health
Elders of a Christian Community were required to contribute to the costs of the accommodation in a home shared by all occupants, even though they occupied only part of the home, and claimed housing benefit. It was held that they were entitled to claim, even though they had no direct liability for the rent. The elder would be subject to fixed non-dependent deductions for the other adult members of the house, and it was consistent with the words of the Act and the policy that they should be able to claim the benefit.

Regina v Brent London Borough Council Ex Parte Khadim Gazette, 05 April 2001

CA

Administrative, Benefits
A lower court was not bound to follow a decision of a higher court, where the decision at issue had been based, on the relevant point, on an unargued assumption about the law, which had in turn been pivotal to the decision of that higher court. Whether a person living in the same house as a relative was residing with him, was matter for ordinary English usage. The statute did not provide a full and exclusive definition, and the case was remitted for reconsideration.

Regular payments from a structured settlement which had been awarded as damages in a personal injury action were capital treated as income under the regulations, and the entitlement to income support was to be affected accordingly.

Hale LJ, Clarke LJ and Butterfield J
Benefits, Litigation Practice
Although production of a new medical report, or of a new medical opinion, could evidence a relevant change of circumstances, to support the claim that the threshold had been reached so as to allow a review of a decision to grant benefits, it did not in itself suffice to constitute such a change, without which the jurisdiction to review did not exist. Specialist tribunals, chaired as they usually are by a lawyer, have an appropriate balance of experience and expertise amongst their members. The court set out the principles to be applied on hearing applications for second tier appeals from specialist tribunals. Hale LJ urged appropriate caution in giving permission to appeal from the Social Security Commissioners, because of their particular expertise in a highly specialised area of the law, where it was "quite probable that . . the Social Security Commissioner will have got it right".
The court set out the principles to be applied on hearing applications for second tier appeals from specialist tribunals.

White v United Kingdom Unreported, 7 June 2001
7 Jun 2001
ECHR

Human Rights, Benefits
The UK Government took the unattractive point that the claimant had advanced a claim in writing for benefit had not done so on the official form, although it was designed specifically for widows. Held: The Court notes that in the present case the applicant made clear in the form notifying the social security office of the death of his wife that he wished to claim "widowers' benefits". The Court further notes that on two occasions a Minister of the Department of Social Security wrote to the applicant's Member of Parliament confirming that, as a man, the applicant was not entitled under the current law to claim widows' benefits. The court would look to the substance not the form. The Government contend that the applicant never made a claim for any benefits "in the proper form" and that, applying the Court's reasoning in the Cornwell case, the applicant cannot claim to be a victim of discrimination in violation of the Convention. The Court is unable to accept this argument. As appears from the Cornwell decision itself, the precise form in which an applicant indicates his intention to claim benefits is not of importance, the central question being whether the applicant has made clear his wish to claim benefits. The Court finds that in the present case the applicant made clear such intention and that he can accordingly claim to be a victim of a violation of the Convention for the purposes of Article 34."

The grant of temporary admission to the UK pending an decision on his asylum status, did not create a full 'lawful presence' in the UK. A person seeking to qualify for housing assistance had to be lawfully present within the UK, and temporary admission did not create a sufficient status by virtue of section 11.

Where a member of a sickness scheme sought treatment in another member state, it was proper to require prior authorisation, but any conditions imposed had to be justifiable and proportionate. In this case the scheme required the recognition of the treatment sought, and that immediate treatment in the country was not available. Hospital services were capable of constituting economic activity, and were accordingly required to be free of restraint by Community law. Re-imbursement by a member state's sickness benefits scheme did not take it out of the scope of Article 60. The additional restrictions were valid only in so far as they required that the treatment be tried and tested, or that equivalent treatment was available locally without undue delay.

The applicant was insured under the national health insurance scheme, but received treatment in another member state, he was entitled to be re-imbursed the higher cost even though it might be higher than the amount he would have been entitled to have claimed in his own country. To hold otherwise would discourage free supply of services through member states.

The claimant had sought housing benefits, but his claim was rejected by the respondents who said that he was not liable to make the payments. He argued that the decision was not made by an impartial tribunal since it was held by councillors from the authority which would benefit financially from the refusal of the claim. Held: The claim succeeded: " the claimant was deprived of his common law right to a determination of his entitlement to housing benefit by an independent tribunal."

QBD
Mr Justice Stanley Burnton
Immigration, Human Rights, Benefits
New regulations created a system under which applicants for asylum could be deprived of all benefits on the decision of an asylum support adjudicator. That person was appointed by the Home Secretary, and it was alleged was not impartial. It was argued that the system was dispensing discretionary benefits, and not rights, and that a withdrawal of those benefits was not an interference with rights. Making the benefit discretionary was deliberate, but involved a degree of unreality. The applicant had a right to have his appeal heard by someone independent of the Secretary of State. The tribunals were established by law as required. Whilst it would be preferable fro a different department to be responsible for the appointments, the system retained sufficient impartiality. Courts should lean against accepting judicial review as a substitute for the independence of tribunals. In this case the asylum seeker had had his support withdrawn after an allegation of assault. However under the licence agreement that support was to be withdrawn only in case of misuse of the premises. One such an assault was not capable of being misuse.

It is possible that in some circumstances the same enactment may be construed differently according to whether it applies in circumstances covered by a directive. Arden LJ approved the following passage from Bennion: "It is legitimate for the national court, in relation to a particular enactment of the national law, to give it a meaning in cases covered by the Community law which is inconsistent with the meaning it has in cases not covered by the Community law. While it is at first sight odd that the same words should have a different meaning in different cases, we are dealing with a situation which is odd in juristic terms."

27 Nov 2001

Justice Newman
Benefits, Housing, Human Rights
The respondent board had refused to pay housing benefit on the basis that the claimant's tenancy was not run on a commercial basis. She asserted that they had not given her a fair opportunity to be heard. New regulations had changed the treatment of her situation, and the board had delayed its decision to her disadvantage. Held: The delay was short and not unfair. The factors relevant to assessing whether an agreement was on a commercial basis are not closed but include all the circumstances and particularly the absence of a rent book, that occupation had arisen at the instigation of the claimant, who was agent for the property, who entered it without consultation; and the absence of possession proceedings. Was the tribunal independent. It comprised councillors and council workers. There was no sound basis in this case for concluding that the appearance of a lack of independence and impartiality gave rise to a violation of article 6.

The Council had provided financial assistance for the care of the claimant's father before his death in a residential home. Those costs were in part recoverable as a civil debt. His father had given him the house by deed of gift. The regulations provided that the father was to be treated as still possessing property of which he had denuded himself to avoid payment of the charges The local authority sought an equitable charge over the property. The council had misapplied the subjective test, of whether the father had actually known sufficient of the scheme, and the need to test the actual purpose of the gift in the father's mind. The son said the procedure lacked independence because of the potential conflict of interest and lack of independence of those making the decisions. The statutory scheme is a measure of welfare assistance, but not every part need be, and may not be covered by the Convention. The availability of judicial review was inadequate to correct that defect. There was a breach of the claimant's article 6 rights, but not under article 14.

Discrimination, Benefits
Where a full time student became pregnant and had to suspend her studies, the regulations still treated her as a student, and disentitled her from benefits. The claimant alleged that this was sex discrimination. Held: It was not. The starting point had to be that the Regulations made no explicit distinction between a man and a woman, nor with whether a woman was pregnant or not. She claimed that she had suffered a detriment and that since it was associated with her benefit it was discriminatory. Not everything which affected pregnant women was discriminatory.

Benefits, Administrative
A finding of fact by one government department is not necessarily binding as such on any other department. The claimant sought a pension as the widow of a British citizen. The Home Office had accepted her marriage certificate as binding, but the Benefits Directorate had rejected it as a forgery. Held: No issue estoppel arose. There was no sufficient degree of identity between different government departments, and the minister exercised the powers in his own name, not the Crown. The department which had rejected the certificate had not been involved in the earlier finding, and the evidence upon which the two findings had been made differed.
