Legal Status of Written Guidance by a Government Secretary-of State/Cabinet Member [Guidance that isn't an Order, or Secondary Legislation such as Regulations. 







The declaration which I will make is as follows: "The Defendant does have a discretion to backdate the registration date of an applicant's application under the Housing Allocation Scheme for the reasons given in the judgment at paragraphs 67-72. The Defendant acted unlawfully by failing to consider exercising their discretion in response to the Claimant's request."
