Family law

Treharne v Secretary of State for Work and Pensions [2008] All ER (D) 120 (Sep)

Article 8 of the Convention cannot be extended to found a claim for damages for the failure of the Child Support Agency (CSA) properly to pursue maintenance assessments. The statutory scheme, which is Convention compliant, together with the possibility of judicial review, means that there was no scope for contending in an individual case that Art 8 has been infringed by  maladministration on the part of the CSA.
