The Janet Dines / Lynne Simmons caning case was taken up by STOPP and run as a test case in the European Court of Human Rights: ‘cruel or unusual punishment’ as defined in the International Convention on Civil and Political Rights: Louis Blom-Cooper QC for STOPP. I have read the transcript. The case was resolved by agreement with no finding necessary. In other words, the UK government agreed to ban caning in state schools, circa 1988. (Some of these details are probably wrong due to the passage of time but essentially this is how the cane was banned in Britain.)
