Homelessness and Allocations was first published after the Housing (Homeless Persons) Act 1977 brought new duties towards the homeless into force, since when it has recorded and analysed development of this area of the law, while the authors have contributed to, and helped to shape, its development acting between them in cases up to and including the highest courts from the earliest days of the new law to the present time.
