It appears to be a discrimination thing. The judge ruled that the application of the cap was unlawful because of its discriminatory impact on lone parents with children under two.
And judges wonder why people question their sanity some times.

Though it's an angle. Maybe I'll sue for having to pay extortionate amounts of RFL as the government are discriminating against people with V8s. smile

They've only been 'discriminated' against because they wouldn't get off their arses and do a few hours of work each week.

I find that discriminatory against those who do bother to make a contribution.

And surely 'single parent' is an oxymoron.
