Landmark Chambers are a ‘top set’ on matters relating to social housing. The set represents homelessness charities, government entities and both social housing landlords and tenants. The recently appointed silk Justin Bates KC, has appeared before the Supreme Court, representing the homelessness charity Crisis, in R (Imam) v Croydon LBC – a judicial review concerning a local authority not securing suitable accommodation for a homeless claimant for nearly six years after the duty had been accepted.
