Good. The system abuses jobseekers terribly and work coaches are encouraged to look for reasons to sanction them. It doesn't surprise me one bit that aspects of it have been ruled a breach of their human rights.

A lot of jobseekers are vulnerable people, depression and similar mental ailments are common and the system makes it worse for them by demonising them. The whole system needs to be overhauled so that it's actually focused on getting people into employment that suits them and the medical side of it needs a complete reboot.
