Ali and Another v Birmingham City Council
Supreme Court
“The provision of social welfare benefits, such as accommodation for the homeless, which were dependent on upon a series of evaluative judgments by the responsible authority as to whether the statutory criteria were satisfied and how a claimant’s need ought to be met, did not involve a determination of the claimant’s civil rights within the meaning of article 6.1 of the European Convention on Human Rights.”
