Judicial Summary

The issue in this appeal was whether the Disclosure and Barring Service’s decision to place the Appellant’s name on both the Adults’ Barred List and the Children’s Barred List was based on a mistake or mistakes of fact.

The Upper Tribunal decided that it was.

The decision is mainly about how to assess the probative value of evidence.
