Regina v Spooner, The Leasehold Valuation Tribunal for London Rent Assessment Panel: Admn 8 Jun 1998

The applicant sought leave to apply for a judicial review of a decision that she was not a person with a sufficient interest to challenge a scheme of management proposed under the Act. She was a lessee of a property affected, but had sought to make representations out of time.
Held: The Act allowed notice to be given by advetisement. That she may not have received an additional letter did not make the notice ineffective. The tribunal had considered her application to be heard, and the tribunal could properly take the view that her voice could be heard through the residents’ association. Her delay added to the view that she should not be allowed a judicial review.
