Hello everyone!

Just wanted to know if anyone could point me in the right direction to find a copy of the judgment from this Leigh Day JR case:

https://www.leighday.co.uk/news/news/2023-news/dwp-in-breach-of-equality-laws-after-failure-to-communicate-accessibly-with-blind-benefits-claimants/

I’ve searched the National Archives & West Law but made no progress.

Any help much be much appreciated!

Thanks,

We covered the case on rightsnet .... it was a declaration of the court rather than a full judgment so it is less widely publicised in the usual placesto hunt for judgments ....

High Court makes declaration that DWP’s failure to provide blind and sight impaired people with accessible communications about their benefits was unlawful
