She specialises in housing and public law in both England and Wales. Her practice incorporates homelessness, anti-social behaviour, landlord and tenant, human rights and Equality Act 2010 issues.
Sarah regularly acts for individual applicants (including tenants and homeless people) as well as for local authorities and other public authorities, such as private registered providers of social housing and registered social landlords (in Wales).
Sarah appears regularly in, and advises on, homelessness appeals, including second appeal and judicial review claims. Her homelessness work covers those who are homeless, eligibility, intentionality, priority need, local connection, out-of-area placements, suitability of accommodation (including suitability of temporary accommodation) and whether a fresh application must be accepted by the local housing authority.
