A friend of mine recently won her tribunal.
It was a ridiculous case with a notorious judge who made a daft decision.
The parents won, but not on the merits of the placement they wanted, just simply on the costs.
From this, I can conclude, that provided what you want for your child is cheaper than they LA provision, it doesn't have to meet his needs
Anyway, - the thing that I wanted to know was, - can this now be classed as case law.
I mean, can I just ask for something that is cheaper, without having to prove that it is better? (obviously I would still try to, but it makes my case stronger if I don't').
I haven't seen my friends 'decision' so I don't know what it says exactly, but wondered if it was worth asking her for.
Many TIA
