---
The high court held yesterday that Birmingham city council had acted
unlawfully in upholding the decision of a Birmingham school to expel two
pupils for taking cannabis.

Mr Justice Beatson ruled that the council had acted unreasonably in not
following government guidelines which suggested that pupils should not
normally be expelled for minor drug offences.

The two boys had contributed £2 each to buy the drugs in what their
lawyer described as an "experiment". Neither boy had been in trouble at
school before. Their case will be reheard by the council's independent
appeal panel.
