Application by the freehold owners of a mansion block of flats , occupied by a mixture of long leaseholders and protected tenants , for judicial review by way of mandamus requiring the council to make mandatory repair grants under Housing Act 1974 ss 71 and 71A.

The QBD rejected this argument, stating that a flat in a block was not a "house" and comm
