Judicial Summary
What are the consequences if a glitch in an FtT order is remedied by the subsequent issue by the LA (by agreement) of an amended EHC Plan? What does reg 28 of the SEN Regs require? In exercising of the UT鈥檚 discretion whether to set the FtT鈥檚 decision aside, does Essex CC v DH (SEN) [2016] UKUT 0463 apply? What is the significance to the exercise of that discretion if the LA, having obtained an order for suspension of the FtT鈥檚 order, places the child at the school ordered by the FtT anyway? Relevance of impending annual review to discretion.
