She had complained to the European Court of Human Rights (the ECHR), alleging that, following the reduction by a local authority of the amount allocated for her weekly care, there had been a violation of her right to respect for private and family life contrary to art 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights. The ECHR upheld the applicant's complaint in respect of the period between 21 November 2008 and 4 November 2009 because the interference with her rights during that period had not been in accordance with domestic law.
