The Special Educational Needs Tribunal had jurisdiction to hear an appeal by a parent against the decision of an education authority to cease to hold an assessment that a child had special educational needs once the child reached the age of sixteen, and education was not compulsory. The definition of a child with such needs was different from the general definition under the Act, and defined such a child as being under nineteen, not, as for other purposes, sixteen.
