Local authority – Residential care home. The Court of Appeal, Civil Division, considered the National Assistance (Assessment of Resources) Regulations 1992, SI 1992/2977, which required a local authority, when assessing the value of a person's assets in order to determine their ability to pay for residential care, to disregard the value of any premises occupied by certain family members as their home.
