A Special Educational Needs Tribunal made a decision, in ignorance of information which had been withheld by the authority, and which it should have disclosed. The parents did not want their son transferred to particular school, because they felt that accidents which had occurred at the present school would recur at the new school. The authority did not disclose such an accident from some several years before. The chairman certified that the information would not have affected the decision. The court held that the lapse of time, and change of circumstances after the accident made it now irrelevant and declined to overturn the decision.
