But Judge King and Lord Justice Elias ruled that the government had acted legally.

The judges agreed that some students would be discouraged from applying to university because of high costs and said it was too early to tell whether the poor would be discouraged.

said that the government's analysis of equality was inadequate and did not respect the rights of the public sector for equality. This means that the government did not give due attention to students with disabilities and ethnic minorities.

In his opinion, Lord Justic Elijah said he did not think it would be a "proportionate" response to the cancellation of the decision to increase tariffs to a maximum of £ 9,000 per year argued that such a measure would create "administrative chaos." However, said Vince Cable, the secretary of business, "does not fully comply with their equality in the public sector service."

"Although I have concluded that the Secretary of State does not require rigorous attention to all in general and to that extent, the violation is not only technical, I am convinced particular decision setting rates at levels reflected in legislation was the subject of a proper analysis, "he said.

"In addition, all parties involved in these decisions, the government, universities and students - were planning. On the assumption that the rates paid by those causing administrative chaos, and inevitably would have significant economic consequences if the rules had to be canceled. "

Youth were represented by lawyers Sam Jacobs of the public interest. Jacobs said there are two reasons for filing the application. First, the rate hike was in violation of the right to education protected by the Human Rights Act 1998. This right does not guarantee free higher education, but it slows the rise of measures that limit access to higher education, he argues.

Speaking outside the court, Moore said he was delighted with the results, adding:. "For the court to recognize the government's actions as illegal is a great achievement that shows it is possible to challenge decisions made by our government that have adverse effects on the future of our society."
teens said they both go to college.
