OK I had a reply from Nicholas Bohm. He pointed out that whereas a Judicial Review might be possible the risk is high since the loser may be liable for the other side's costs. Obviously if a litigant in person wins and the authority lose, the cost liability to the authority is going to be minor and gets paid for out of tax payers money anyway; the reverse however is a much heavier liability should the litigant lose as the authority are likely to have a legal team of barristers and Queen's Counsel.

He does agree that Parliamentary Ombudsman would be a reasonable avenue to pursue but warns that it is a very slow process.

I will therefore be pushing forward on that route and will have to forget the Judicial Review route.
