The applicant’s son had been excluded from the respondent’s school. She sought judicial review of the decision in that insufficient reasons had been given, and the hearing unfair at the Independent Appeal Tribunal. The son was subject to a statement of special educational needs. By the time of the hearing the son had been allocated to another school, and the mother wanted simply to clear his name.
