The current legal challenges facing social landlords: A judge's perspective

Lord Neuberger reviewed key cases in the area of social housing law: “I intend to begin with the decision in R (Weaver) v London & Quadrant Housing Trust [2009] EWCA Civ 587, [2009] 25 EG 137 (CS). It seems to me that it is a good starting point, as it deals with the fundamental issue of public function and public act in the context of social housing. I will then look at issues that arise from Kay and Doherty. Finally, rather self-centredly, I will review a few cases in which I was involved when in the House of Lords.”
