The Case
Education School. Queen's Bench Division, Administrative Court: The court dismissed a judicial review of a decision taken by the defendant local education authority to close a school in its area. The school closed was a co-educational community-non-faith school which had, inter alia, produced the worst academic performance results of all the schools which had been considered for closure. None of the claimant's complaints in the judicial review had any substance.
