Legal challenge to School holiday ban

Father challenges term-time holiday banAn American-born engineer is to fight a legal test case against the government’s ban on parents taking children on holiday during term-time. Noah Myers and his wife were fined £120 after taking their boys, aged 6 and 10, out of class for three days this year to support their cousin Maddy in a weightlifting competition in Poland. Myers argues that his civil liberties and right under the Human Rights Act to decide what is in the best interests of his family are being infringed.
