Regina v London Borough of Merton, ex parte Sembi: Admn 25 May 1999

Where a claim was made that a housing authority had failed to carry out its duty to provide appropriate accommodation, the claimant should exhaust the statutory review and appeal procedures before applying for judicial review. A delay in finding accommodation might be inevitable where the claimant’s needs were particular.
