    Caselaw decided in relation to EA1996 is potentially relevant even though SEN law is now set out in the CFA2014 in the light of what the UT said in Devon CC v OH [2016] UKUT 292 (AAC) §33: "In light of “substantially common features around the very building blocks of the special educational needs regime”, the UT has “proceed[ed] on the basis that the legislative intention was in general terms for a continuity of approach, except where the 2014 Act provides a specific reason to conclude otherwise. Subject to that note of caution, authorities on concepts common to both regimes will continue to be relevant”.
