High Court damages award for wrongful care proceedings
An important claim concerning wrongful care proceedings has finally been settled by an English Children’s Services council. The claim was brought by the campaigner Elly Chapple – the founder of EllaCanDo and inspirational speaker, on her daughter’s behalf. A press release with details of the court order can be accessed by clicking here. It states, among other things:
This was an important, and novel, case, which, it is hoped, will have ramifications for the community of parents with disabled children, who often experience significant challenges and difficulties in obtaining support, and subsequent disproportionate and unnecessary intrusion into their family and private lives.
The barristers who acted for Elly Chapple were Steve Broach KC and Victoria-Butler Cole KC of 39 Essex Chambers
