Thanks for the reference, bowlingbun.
I find this very vaguely worded: "The high court has ordered an urgent judicial review into the benefit cap and its impact on disabled people and their carers, it has been announced today."
The high court doesn't order judicial reviews. The only sense I can make of it is that the ongoing judicial review should not be stopped.
This solicitors' site seems to be referring to the same thing
http://www.hmbsolicitors.co.uk/news/cat ... et_id=1619:
"The High Court has ordered that a judicial review challenge to the ‘benefit cap’ and its impact upon disabled people and their carers should proceed to a full hearing, and that this hearing must take place urgently. The Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, Iain Duncan Smith, unsuccessfully argued that the claim should be dismissed. Mr Justice King rejected the Secretary of State’s arguments, granted permission to the claimants and ordered that the hearing must take place no later than 30th October this year."
