Children sought damages from police and local authorities. They were taken into care when police suspected sexual abuse by their mother. The police continued with the case after it had been made clear to them that the suspicion was groundless, and failed to disclose the facts to others involved or the parents, and indeed continued the allegation they knew to be false.
Held: ‘The breaches of the Claimants Article 6 and Article 8 rights on these facts are profound, obvious and wide-ranging.’
