‘UO v London Borough of Redbridge (2024) EWHC 1989 (Admin). We first saw UO and Redbridge in this judicial review of an unlawful housing needs assessment (HNA) and suitability decision. That decision was, to say the least, scathing about Redbridge’s decision making. So it is perhaps a surprise to see a further judicial review of Redbridge’s further HNA(s) and a suitability decision as to out of borough accommodation, not least because this judicial review decision includes judicial comment on Redbridge failing to take account of the evidence and findings in the previous JR. But that is what this is.’
