520 _aOutlines defensive action which can be taken when delays to housing benefit claims cause tenants to be taken to court for rent arrears. Arguments used could include summonsing housing benefit department as witness, or judge adjourning while housing benefit questions are resolved, as in "Hoffman v Cuerto-Corondo & Filipe". Alternative strategy offered is to apply for adjournment and then apply for a judicial review to compel local authority to deal with housing benefit claim properly. Concludes complex legalities could be avoided if local authorities administered housing benefit efficiently.
