Representing claimants in a case where housing association rent has been referred to the Rent Officer.  This has to be done when the Council considers the rent payable for the dwelling to be unreasonably high.  Not aware of any case law directly on point, but hoping I can draw a parallel with Reg 12B(6) (restricting HB where eligible rent “greater than it is reasonable to meet by way of HB”).  One case is referred to in CPAG: R (Laali) v Westminster HBRB [2002] HLR 179.  Cannot find an online source for that at all.  Anyone have a transcript they would be willing to upload?

Many thanks
