Tim Baldwin of the Garden Court Public Law Team has produced a case analysis in partnership with LexisNexis.
The case analysis includes the practical implications of the case KTS v Milby Primary School Governors, the background, the court’s decision and case details.
This case concerned the parents of a child who appealed against a First-tier Tribunal’s (Special Educational Needs and Disability) (FTT) refusal to vary a reporting restriction order. The parents brought a claim against their child’s primary school for disability discrimination and failure to make reasonable adjustments.
On registering the claim, the FTT made a standard order preventing the disclosure of information likely to identify the child. At the hearing, the FTT upheld this order and dismissed the reasonable adjustments claim. Following appeal, the Upper Tribunal (UT) varied reporting restriction orders made by the FTT and the UT, to permit a child’s school to be identified, and provided guidance on the use of such orders in special educational needs and disability cases in the FTT and UT.
