Query on naming more than one preference in Section I?
At the first LASEN seminar a discussion arose as to whether the LA could put forward a first option and a back up option in section I. I recall one of our LA colleagues mentioned that they had a case where the Tribunal effectively directed them to choose 1 option. Is there any case law anyone is aware of to support a LA seeking to put foward a second option placement?

Late to the party folks but I came across this via IPSEA
An LA may choose to suggest a fall-back where there is a risk that the SEND Tribunal might find its proposed school unsuitable (London Borough of Hillingdon v AG (SEN) [2017] UKUT 508 (AAC)).
