A severely disabled man has lost a High Court challenge over cuts to his care package he claimed breached the Care Act.
Luke Davey, 40, brought a judicial review on the grounds Oxfordshire council’s decision to reduce his weekly personal budget by 42% was unlawful as it posed a direct risk to his wellbeing.
Justice Morris dismissed the case, saying it was understandable Davey and his family had objected to the cut but there was no “relevant legal error” in the council’s actions.
The Disability Justice Project has also produced a briefing on the judgement.
