Moyna v Secretary of State for Work and Pensions [2003] UKHL 44
Judgement for the case Moyna v Secretary of State for Work and Pensions
Table Of Contents
Plaintiff claimed to be disabled and claimed to be entitled to disability benefits, but the social security commission denied her claim, the statutory test for benefits being whether a person was able to cook their own food regularly.
HL held that the test was a broad one, on which the tribunal should take a wide view and make a judgment: it was not a test to be applied with precise arithmetic.
Since the tribunal’s decision was a reasonable one, its decision was upheld.
Lord Hoffmann
In any case in which a tribunal has to apply a standard with a greater or lesser degree of imprecision and to take a number of factors into account, there are bound to be cases in which it will be impossible for a reviewing court to say that the tribunal must have erred in law in deciding the case either way
