Success Stories

Miss H - came to us with an assessment in place of £22.00 per week. We appealed the assessment and applied for a departure on the grounds of Lifestyle inconsistent with income, Assets and Diversion of income and the tribunal found in our clients favour on all grounds thereby increasing the assessment to over £150.00 per week with arrears of more than £14,000.00.

Mr K - came to us with an appeal he had lodged claiming that the parent with care had ceased to be habitually resident in the UK. During the interview with Mr K we ascertained that he and the parent with care had reconciled briefly, shortly after the CSA became involved. We advised Mr K that a precedent existed whereby the case could be closed from the date of reconciliation and we added this ground to the appeal. We then successfully argued both grounds of the appeal at a tribunal who then ordered that the case be closed with effect from 1997 which would result in Mr K receiving a full refund of all child support paid from 1997 - more than £40,000.00.
