Damages for parents in care case

By John Hirst

ADVERTISEMENTS

Damages for parents in care case

A British couple whose two-month-old daughter was taken into care after a "misguided" suspicion of abuse have been awarded £8,000 in compensation.

The European Court of Human Rights ruled their rights had been infringed because they had no legal redress for the loss of their child.

The girl, from Oldham, was taken into care in 1998 after breaking her leg.

The family was reunited nine months later when another injury revealed that the girl had brittle bone disease.

In spite of the Human Rights Act 1998, and reforms of Judicial Review, this case shows that the UK still has a misguided sense of what British justice should mean.
