  • Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council (23 013 261)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Land 22-Jan-2024

  • Buckinghamshire Council (23 013 335)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Land 12-Jan-2024

    Summary: We will not investigate Ms X’s complaint, brought by on her behalf by Mr Y, about the Council delaying its response to her compensation claim until an appeal was timed out under a six-year statutory time limit. Ms X, represented by Mr Y’s firm, had an alternative remedy through an Upper Tier Tribunal appeal which it was reasonable for her to use to pursue the outcome she seeks. The complaint is also late and there are no good reasons for us to investigate it now.
