Jenni Richards QC and Sian Davies Represent Families Celebrating After Victory In Fight To Keep Respite Centre For Disabled Children Open

2nd October 2017

Jenni Richards QC and Sian Davies have been successful in keeping a respite centre open that cares for disabled children, just days before a High Court hearing was due to begin.

Herts Valleys Clinical Commissioning Group has agreed to set aside its decision to withdraw funding from Nascot Lawn in Watford. It comes ahead of a planned judicial review on Tuesday when the High Court was due to decide whether health bosses acted illegally when they decided to withdraw the funding from the vital lifeline service.

Jenni and Sian were due to argue in the High Court that the CCG’s decision was unlawful because it had not consulted with affected families and that it had not understood its legal responsibilities under the National Health Services Act and the Equality Act.
