It's unbelievable, and quite frankly disgusting, that she won her appeal purely on a procedural technicality, rather than a review of her role in the death of Baby P (and others).
If it wasn't about the money (according to her), then she should hand the £2.5 million over to children's charities - but I won't hold my breath.

I am concerned at this decision too, I agree with you Angus58. A really bad and worrying decision by the Judges.
