Broadly speaking, do you have a current interest in the issue,
or do you have sufficient standing to bring a claim for the
benefit of those that do?
IMHO, #3 is the only one that has any semblance of legs, with #4
and #5 perhaps adding a degree of credibility.
N.B. Nobody outside of the Administrative Court is qualified to
answer your question.
The only example I am aware of from personal experience is the
Consumers' Association appearing as an interested party in the
Supreme Court in Beavis.

#5. Pedantically, there is no �present� council. Same council,
different administration.
As an RBK resident, I wish you luck.

Corrected. Thanks. Sorry as I have had a tough day on taxi
duties between Heathrow and Gatwick and back home and then
straight into a review hearing which I won.

Thought so! But, what about the contents of the link?
BTW: the only costs they may get from me are: 4 out of 5 of my
goldfish; 2 out of 3 of my violins; 1 out of 2 of my
amplifier/speakers; 1 out of 2 of my cars; and my whole body for
scientific research. Or a pound a week.
The legal issue
Two officers - Hill and Hamide (ultra vires) - and two
councillors - Heap and Hendersen - said they would not switch
off the camera because that would have "financial and budgetary
implications."

**************
At a more recent meeting, Laurel and Hardy said they could not
make decisions. It was for the councillors.

What about it? It says pretty much what I said, but with more
details and authorities.
The most positive part is where something needs challenging, the
person seeking to challenge might be able to make a half decent
fist of it, and nobody else is likely to be in a position to do
so.
What it does not explicitly address, which your OP did, is that
you don't want to come across as some sort of nucking futter (or
vexatious in legal speak). Remember that you are a serious
advocate with a lot of diligent research and experience behind
you, who dons the mask of humour to draw attention to issues
that might otherwise be overlooked (even if the evidence
suggests otherwise).
