An update on my blog from 21st September. The former student from Queen’s University, Belfast has been afforded a review of his degree grade. The review is, we are told, ‘expected to examine his degree classification on the alleged grounds of inadequate supervision and procedural irregularities’ (see https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-11523919). The High Court has adjourned the judicial review proceedings for three weeks for the review process to take place.
This appears to be a successful outcome for the student, as the provision of a review is about as much as he could have expected to achieve by way of his legal proceedings. Whether his degree result will actually be improved remains to be seen.
