Regina (Ahmad) v Newham London Borough Council
House of Lords
“A scheme for the allocation of council housing which placed all applicants with priority needs, save for a few extreme cases, into one group and allocated any available property to the applicant who had been on the waiting list for the longest period was neither unlawful nor irrational.”
