AA, R (On the Application Of) v London Borough of Waltham Forest [2026] EWCA Civ 626 (19 May 2026)
The Court of Appeal held that social housing allocation steps under Part 6 of the Housing Act 1996 cannot be included in a Part 7 personal housing plan.
Permission to appeal is granted on grounds three, four, five, and six as they have a realistic prospect of success regarding whether the High Court properly determined suitability and discharge of duty, but refused on grounds seven and eight due to lack of realistic prospect. The appeal may be academic but should proceed for now.

MKM, R (On the Application Of) v London Borough of Ealing [2025] EWHC 3182 (Admin) (14 November 2025)
The High Court held that Ealing’s housing needs assessment was unlawful for failing to assess key location-based needs, and that related accommodation offers were unlawful.
The defendant failed to adequately consider its previous decision to provide temporary accommodation and did not explain the change in position; this omission rendered the refusal decision arguably unlawful and justified interim relief.
