Term Time Holiday Test Case - ???

[Saffron]

Does anyone know what's happening with this case:

A city banker is to fight a test case over the Government?s crackdown on parents taking their children out of school during term time.

James Haymore was summonsed to court after he refused to pay a ?120 fine for taking his children to America for six days at the start of the spring term for a memorial service for their great-grandfather.

Mr Haymore, who works for JP Morgan, will argue that the decision to prosecute him for taking his three children out of school is a breach of the Human Rights Act.

Since last September new rules have been imposed on parents, threatening them with a fine if they take their children out of lessons.

Michael Gove, the Education Secretary, ended a policy that allowed schools to grant up to 10 days holiday a year to families in ?special circumstances.?

Case was adjourned on 18 July until 10 October. My guessing is that it will run and run...

I'm gutted that he had a good reason for taking them.When I saw the word banker I really wanted him to have just taken them on a cruise or something.
