R (on the application of DAT (by his mother and litigation friend) and another) v West Berkshire Council [2016] EWHC 1876 (Admin), [2016] All ER (D) 202 (Jul)
The Administrative Court allowed the claimants’ application for judicial review of the defendant local authority’s decision to cut funding to voluntary sector organisations which provided short breaks for disabled children. The members’ attention had not been drawn to mandatory relevant considerations and it was not highly likely that that the outcome for the claimants would not have been substantially different if the conduct complained of had not occurred.
