A council which was the first to prosecute a mother for lying on an admissions form to get her son into a good school has withdrawn its action.
Harrow Council in London prosecuted Mrinal Patel who gave her mother's address when applying to the popular Pinner Park First School for her son.
The council had used the Fraud Act 2006 to prosecute Mrs Patel, but it is now not clear if it can apply in this case.
SourceBloody amazing isn't it...?
Stretch the truth about where you live to get your kid into a decent school >>>>>> the full weight of the law is applied to you for 'fraud'.
Lie about where you live to defraud the taxpayer from thousands in expenses and capitals gains tax >>>>>> fuck all happens.
Utterly disgusting.
Instead of spending money taking people to court the bastard council should be spending money improving schools. Wankers!
