About this deal

It said: “The council did not carry out an assessment, provide advice or take any other action before closing Mr X’s case in February 2023. The council was aware at this stage that Mr X was living in his car and that on occasions his 16 year old son also spent the night in the car with him. In June this year, Mr X made a formal complaint to the council. He also asked the Ombudsman to investigate his complaint who exercised discretion to consider Mr X’s complaint even though he had not completed the council’s complaints process.

Hercule François, Duke of Anjou and Alençon (1555–1584), was the first notable member of the royalty to assume the title without the use of an adjoining proper name. [2] In 1576, Monsieur pressured his brother King Henry III of France into signing the Edict of Beaulieu and effectively ending the Fifth Religious War of France. The resulting peace became popularly known as the Peace of Monsieur. [3] In its decision, the Ombudsman said it was clear there were delays in accepting and considering the homelessness application by Liverpool Council, as well as failing in its communication. A man left homeless was forced to sleep in a car for almost a year with his 16-year-old son after Liverpool Council failed to deal with their housing issue. This led the father-of-four to get ill from sleeping in his car for eight months. Documents released by the ombudsman said the authority’s delays to resolve the issue - in which a teenage boy was also forced to sleep rough - caused “serious distress, uncertainty, and difficulties.” The council has since apologised.This article needs additional citations for verification.

The report outlined how Mr X had lived in the city since 2012, but did not speak or read English, relying on his sons and brother to translate for him. As a result, this made communication with the council difficult. I recognise communication with Mr X was not straightforward but am not persuaded the council took sufficient action to advise or support Mr X, or to ensure he understood what was required to progress his homelessness application. The council’s delays and communication failings have meant that Mr X has potentially had to live in his car, separated from his family for longer than he otherwise would have.” The title was later assumed by Gaston, Duke of Orléans, brother of Louis XIII, and then Philippe I, Duke of Orléans, brother of Louis XIV. From 1643 to 1660, while both princes were alive, Philippe was commonly known as le Petit Monsieur, while Gaston, his uncle, was known as le Grand Monsieur. [4] [5] [ unreliable source?]
