Will the Mayor of London's St Mungo's service now put me to the trouble of drafting a second claim for the Central London County Court for filing on 3 September? DAY 3 of 14


The Central London County Court is located in the Royal Courts of Justice.

Mayor of London Sadiq Khan.

Brief details of claim

Since 17 May 2014, the Claimant and his wife have been tenants of the Clearing House, which is run by the Defendant [St Mungo's] on behalf of the Mayor of London. For almost four months, the Claimant has been battling the Defendant to stabilise his tenancy. First it was problems with the renewal of his and his wife's tenancy agreement, which took 62 days from the renewal date and the threat of immediate court action to resolve. For two months, since 25 June 2018, it has been problems with inaccurate case notes, which got even more serious on 1 August 2018 when the Claimant discovered that notes the Defendant's Executive Director Dominic Williamson assured the court last year had been rectified by him were in fact held and are still being held under the Claimant's wife's name. The Defendant has also made the decision not to provide the Claimant with a like-for-like Tenancy Sustainment Team Worker (i.e., such as his wife was assigned last June), and insisted upon an enforced joint visit(s) against his expressed wishes. These serial breaches of the Human Rights Act 1998 constitute a type of harassment, discrimination, and a threat to life. The Claimant is therefore making an application to the Court for a declaration that the Defendant has acted unlawfully and in dereliction of its duty. The Claimant seeks damages for distress and costs.

Dominic Williamson (20/8/2018): "If you [sic] wife is [sic] wants to change what her record says she should speak to her TST worker in the first instance. If this does not resolve the issue then she can use the St Mungo’s complaints procedure."
