Opponents of Glasgow鈥檚 拢4bn stock transfer have launched a legal bid to scupper the plan.
The anti-transfer campaigners are seeking a judicial review on the grounds that Glasgow council鈥檚 18 criteria for the stock transfer have not been met.

They are also challenging the validity of the April ballot in which around 60% of tenants voted for transfer, claiming the majority has been eroded by house sales and changes in tenancy.

The late November deadline for the transfer looks increasingly unlikely to be met, as Glasgow Housing Association has yet to appoint a lead funder. The council required that the transfer take place within eight months of the vote.

But this week a council spokesman said the deadline was not a legal requirement. 鈥淭his is Britain鈥檚 biggest stock transfer and if it takes a few extra weeks to work through, then it鈥檚 hardly surprising,鈥� he added.
