It's fine, just engineer the prompt to drop "pedagogy" or "didactic" into every third sentence of the evaluation of the validation reports. No one will notice.
(Here's one I prepared earlier. Well, actually a few seconds ago.)

LaSalle's report makes my point far better than I have. They recognize that not every thing is for sale and base their analysis on investable real estate.

Summarize the legal case R (on the application of Ibrahim) v Waltham Forest LBC [2019] EWHC 1873 (Admin)
ChatGPT said:
The case of R (on the application of Ibrahim) v Waltham Forest LBC [2019] EWHC 1873 (Admin) involved a judicial review challenge against the London Borough of Waltham Forest's decision regarding the claimant's homelessness application. The claimant, who had experienced significant trauma, argued that the council failed to properly assess her housing needs and circumstances, leading to an unlawful refusal of assistance.
housinglawweek.co.uk
Legal Issues
The primary legal issue was whether the council had discharged its duty under section 193(2) of the Housing Act 1996 to provide suitable accommodation to the claimant. The claimant contended that the council's failure to consider her specific needs and circumstances rendered their decision unlawful.

Court's Decision
The court found in favor of the claimant, ruling that the council had indeed acted unlawfully. It held that the council's decision was flawed due to inadequate consideration of the claimant's individual circumstances, particularly her mental health and the impact of her past trauma. The court emphasized the importance of a thorough and individualized assessment in homelessness cases to ensure compliance with statutory duties.
Significance
This case underscores the necessity for local authorities to conduct comprehensive assessments of an applicant's specific needs when determining suitability for accommodation. It highlights the legal obligation to consider all relevant factors, including personal history and mental health, to fulfill statutory duties under housing law.
