London Borough of Barnet (24 004 172)
Statement Closed after initial enquiries Homelessness 14-Aug-2024
Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about alleged discrimination by the Council in relation to Mr X’s homelessness case. Mr X successfully used his appeal rights against the suitability of an offer of permanent accommodation. There is no evidence of earlier fault, nor did any fault cause him an injustice as he did not move into the unsuitable accommodation. It is reasonable for Mr X to refer to the courts for a decision about whether he suffered discrimination.

Rochdale Metropolitan Borough Council (24 004 900)
Statement Closed after initial enquiries Commercial and contracts 14-Aug-2024
Summary: We cannot investigate Mrs X’s complaint about the Council’s increase of its licence fee for renting space at a business centre. This is because the issue is not subject to investigation under the Local Government Act 1974. It is in any event a dispute over whether the Council’s actions breach the licence agreement, which is a matter for the courts.
