This appeal raises two related points of law. First, where an applicant who is dissatisfied with a decision made pursuant to s. 184 of the Housing Act 1996 requests a review of that decision pursuant to s. 202 of the Act, what is the legal status of the requested decision if the authority issues and notifies the applicant of the Review Decision outside the time specified by applicable regulations? Second, where a Review Decision has been issued and notified to the applicant late, is it open to the applicant to commence an appeal to the County Court against the original s. 184 Decision relying upon the terms of s. 204(1)(b) of the Housing Act 1996?
