UK public law : Judicial Review

James has approached you for advice. He is resident in an apartment owned by the Hamdean local authority. The local authority now proposes to demolish the apartment block and move him to another apartment 15 miles away, but they have refused him a hearing and refused to give him reasons for their decision.

In addition, James has heard that a company owned by the Chairman of the Housing Committee in Hamdean local authority has just bought the site of the apartment block and intends to develop it as luxury apartments.

Advise James as to the GROUNDS he may have in challenging the local authority's actions by way of judicial review. Do not discuss the procedure for judicial review.
