Parents ask for holiday fine refundspublished at 08:01 BST 3 August 2016
Dozens of parents in Devon are asking for their term-time holiday fines to be refunded.

The High Court ruled in May Jon Platt (pictured) did not have to pay a £120 fine to Isle of Wight Council after he took his daughter to Florida in term-time. The council is planning to challenge that ruling.
Plymouth City Council said it would no longer penalise for holiday absences, but 34 families have contacted it asking for their money back. Devon County Council has had 17. Both are refusing to issue refunds.
