The court quashed the Appeal Panel's decision because the majority erred in concluding the applicant and his household had alternative accommodation and no pressing need without properly weighing the involuntary nature of the wife's and son's absence and the applicant's demonstrated intention and steps to occupy; the mis‑weighing of those material considerations rendered the Decision irrational and justified judicial intervention and remittal for reconsideration.
