A J S B v Essex County Council and others: QBD 13 Jul 2007

The defendant local authorities sought summary judgment against the claims brought by the claimants who said that their exclusions from schools infringed their human rights. Each claimant was subject to a special educational needs statement.
Held: The actions should be struck out on the ground that they had no realistic prospect of success; but, since the claim had been brought out of time, for reasons which the court went on to give he would in any event not have granted the necessary enlargement of time.
