Application to Strike Out Appeal

(13 Posts)

DENIED grin

LA have been ordered to submit their response by Monday and an observation made that they hadn't asked for advice until the deadline which was "of concern"

Clarification for them that the appeal submitted was in good order and whilst not detailing specific amendments wanted it contained sufficient information for the LA to respond.

Maybe they'll call off the AR (offered on application to strike out and hastily convened) now as that seemed to be offered on the assumption the appeal would be thrown out who knows hmm.

It feels good to know that suddenly after all their games they are going to have to comply with due process after all.

Was that a judicial review application they applied to strike out?

Yeh!
Going to have the tribunal against them before they even get in the room.

No appeal to strike out appeal against parts two and three at SENDIST. They really are trying every tactic in the book. They offered instead an early AR on the application to strike out on the basis that they would issue a proposed amended if they felt it necessary.
Looks like I'm stuck with an AR four weeks before they'll get a working document that they can negotiate and still they don't think up to date assessments of ds is required confused
Ds is thriving though (he's talking all the time now, no written notes and no signing and he has a friend at school grin) so the LA being prats whilst at home everything's great with ds is just a minor irritation tbh.

Bizarre! I have never heard of that tactic!

The solicitor had said they were outraged that I was going to appeal when they had given in on part four.
They asked for it to be struck out because I hadn't specified the exact amendments I wanted although I had pointed out what was wrong.
They felt that it could be resolved by an early annual review and so have ordered one. They said I hadn't tried hard enough to negotiate amendments before going to SENDIST but you know the saga it took to get an amended statement as if I was going to do anything but ask them to finalise it hmm.
They could offer no legislation to support their application but decided to ask anyway hmm
I think they are getting desperate, they're on the ropes now so doing what they can to throw in a spanner tbh.
