Three single parents, who claimed the bedroom tax
breached their human rights by limiting access to their children, have had
their case rejected by a High Court judge. The three claimed the imposition of
the benefit cut could force them to downsize to homes where their children
could not come to stay. But the judicial review was rejected yesterday, after
the judge - Justice Stephen Males - said the provision of discretionary housing
payments (DHP) had prevented their rights being infringed. Justice Males went
on to comment that even if DHP had been refused, Article 8 of the European
Convention of Human Rights would not have been breached. Read more on the Daily
