Dear Ms Cordell,
Re: Simon Cordell
I am writing in response to your emails dated 17th and 20th December 18 where you have
raised that you feel that some of the information provided in my letter to Joan Ryan MP
dated 12th December 2018 is incorrect. I have therefore asked for legal clarification on the
points raised. I accept that the order made by the Edmonton County Court on 9th August
2018 did not actually record that your son submits a housing transfer application on the
condition that he engages with mental health team. However, you agreed that you would
engage with the Enfield Mental Health Unit Team, so your son could receive assistance with
his mental health conditions and housing. I understand that you. Agreed to submit a housing
management transfer to be considered by the exceptions panel on 1710812018. However,
following a discussion held with Ms lyavoo, one of the Council's lawyers on 16th August
2018 you were advised that the application being unsupported by medical evidence, if
successful, would only result in a transfer of a property on a like for like basis. You explained
to Ms lyavoo that your son needed support and would benefit from a larger property, so
someone could come and live with him and you were advised that this type of application
must be supported by medical evidence. As your son was given an appointment to see the
Enfield Mental Health Team on,31't August 2018, you asked that you son's application be
deferred until the next panel meeting which was to take place on 29th September 2018.
This was also confirmed in an email to Ms lyavoo on the same day.

4.20pm where you asked for an update regarding your son's management transfer
application. You were aware that the panel meeting would take place on 29th September
2018 but only contacted Ms lyavoo less than 24 hours before the meeting. You also failed to
provide Ms lyavoo with an update regarding the appointment I and whether you had
managed to obtain the necessary medical evidence. Ms lyavoo contacted you on 12th
October 2018 and advised you that the next panel meeting was to take place on 18th
October 2018 and any applications would need to be submitted by 18th October 2018. She
