‘In R (Milburn) v Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman [2023] EWCA Civ 207, the Court of Appeal upheld the decision of HHJ Sephton KC (sitting as a Deputy Judge of the High Court) that the Claimant’s complaints regarding the local authority’s conduct in an appeal before the First-Tier Tribunal (Special Educational Needs and Disability) well within the remit of the Tribunal, and therefore fell outside of the Ombudsman’s jurisdiction due to s.26(6) of the Local Government Act 1974.’
