LR (a child by mother and Litigation Friend LC) (appellant) v Coventry City Council (respondent)
Thursday 23 October 2025
The appellant appeals the order of HHJ Tindal dated 4 February 2025 by which he allowed the Appellant’s judicial review claim in part, quashing the Respondent’s Defendant’s assessment under the Children Act 1989. The Appellant is a child and the case is brought through her mother and litigation friend.
The Appellant’s family have ‘no recourse to public funds’, namely no access to the mainstream benefits and housing systems due to their restricted immigration status. They are supported by the Respondent local authority with subsistence payments. A judicial review challenge was brought in relation to the Respondent’s assessment of the family’s neds and the level support provided to the family.
