C were the parents of an autistic minor who was denied long term care and educational costs by the local authority.

C took out an ATE insurance policy after winning two hearings, Special Needs and Disability Tribunal, and the High Court upheld the tribunal award.

The local authority took the case to the Court of Appeal arguing the lack of clarity and direction from the Tribunal.

The Court of Appeal upheld the original award and ordered all costs, ATE insurance premium and damages be paid within 14 days having personally served a penal order on the Director of Education for the Local Authority.

C were the Governors of a grant maintained school who took out an ATE insurance policy in relation to their Judicial Review.

C challenged the decision of the Local Authority, and their Development and Control Committee, who ignored the Dunblaine and Soham Orders relating to pupils being put at serious risk or harm. Further, that the Local Authority failed to recognise legislation had come into force regarding C's right to make such decisions regarding the safety of Children and thereby C was not required to seek planning permission for the local authority.

The Judicial review was upheld in favour of C who recovered all costs and the full ATE premium.
