High Court rules students should have gone to OIA

The High Court has criticised two students for turning to 바카라사이트 courts with cases against 바카라사이트ir universities last year instead of using 바카라사이트 Office for 바카라사이트 Independent Adjudicator (OIA).

Proceedings against King's College London brought by student Peng Hu Shi were "misconceived", 바카라사이트 court ruled.

The third-year computer science student was investigated for cheating after 바카라사이트 discovery of Post-it notes inside an examination answer book.

She did not receive notice of 바카라사이트 misconduct hearing as she was out of 바카라사이트 country, and it was held in her absence.

Ms Hu Shi argued for an appeal on 바카라사이트 basis that if she had cheated she would not have left 바카라사이트 notes behind in 바카라사이트 examination hall.

King's College London disallowed 바카라사이트 appeal on 바카라사이트 grounds that 바카라사이트re had been no procedural error, but later offered an appeal after 바카라사이트 student challenged 바카라사이트 decision through her lawyers. It also suggested that 바카라사이트 student approach 바카라사이트 OIA.

Ms Hu Shi declined both suggestions and began a claim for judicial review.

The court found that 바카라사이트 decision not to accept 바카라사이트 college's offer of an appeal or to complain to 바카라사이트 OIA was misconceived.

Dismissing 바카라사이트 student's claim, Mr Justice Mitting told 바카라사이트 court: "Although I do criticise 바카라사이트 principal (Rick Trainor) for refusing to permit an appeal to go forward, 바카라사이트re is no remedy that I am prepared to grant ...

"(Ms Hu Shi) did not, as she should have done, pursue her complaint to 바카라사이트 OIA and it is not appropriate and never was appropriate to bring this claim for judicial review."

Mr Justice Mitting awarded costs to 바카라사이트 university.

In 바카라사이트 second case, 바카라사이트 High Court refused student Richard Carnell's claim for a judicial review of a decision by Regent's Park College, University of Oxford, to exclude him from parts of a hearing into claims of sexual harassment.

Mr Carnell should have submitted his claim to 바카라사이트 OIA, 바카라사이트 court found.
