Regina v Mayor and Burgesses of London Borough of Barking and Dagenham ex parte Makila Ebuki and Brandon Ebuki (By His Mother and Litigation Friend Makila Ebuki): Admn 5 Dec 2000

The applicants sought judicial review of the Council’s decision to evict her and her children from emergency accommodation for the homeless without further provision, saying the council failed its duty to her child under section 17.
Held: The council had conducted a review as required. However it was defective, and the council had been ineffective in dealing with the application, and failed properly to communicate its result, and the review was quashed, with an accompanying responsibility on the council to renew the assessment.
