The claimant sought a declaration that the obligation on the respondent to continue to support the child of an asylum seeker when the parent had ceased to be entitled to support, continued despite the 2002 Act.
Held: The statute was quite clear. The obligation to provide support for the child under the 1999 Act continued only while did the obligation to support the parent. The application was refused.
