RR (claimant/appellant) v The London Borough of Enfield (defendant/respondent)
Tuesday 14 October 2025
The Appellant brought a judicial review challenge to Enfield’s scheme for allocation of social housing, arguing that it was unlawful both on a public law basis but also, more specifically as it was said to be contrary to anti-discrimination legislation.
Deputy High Court Judge Walden-Smith dismissed the claim finding that the only ground that succeeded was that Enfield failed in their duty of inquiry pursuant to section 149 of the EA 2010. There was no remedy, however, as the outcome would not have been any different for RR and his family had Enfield complied with its obligations.
