O v Harrow London Borough Council and Another: QBD 12 Jul 2001

The parents appealed a refusal of the education authority to issue a statement of special needs. The tribunal remitted it to the local authority, who issued a second and similar decision. The parents sought to appeal again. They appealed the refusal of jurisdiction. They argued that the authority’s second decision was de novo and therefore attracted a new right of appeal. The court held that the only right of appeal was as stated in the section, and that the second decision was not a new decision.
