Caim for judicial review brought by the mother of four children against a decision made by Birmingham City Council relating to payments to be made to her for both her benefit and that of the children, under provisions of the Children Act, in particular section 17, but also potentially section 20. The overall effect of the decision of the local authority is that it has concluded that, given the restrictions on its powers it will fund the costs of the return of the family to Jamaica, but will not fund continuing costs of accommodating the family, as a family, in the United Kingdom, and thus in the area for which it is responsible.
