The claimant sought judicial review of a decision by the defendant board to await the outcome of civil proceedings before commencing a serious case review of the authority’s handling of an attack on the claimant while at school.
Held: The procedure adopted would introduce inevitable and substantial delay in such investigations which would in turn deprive the review of any practical value. Review granted.
