The claimant complained of her treatment by the defendant’s law department in their assessment of her work. She had supported a complaint of race discrimination by another student against one of the people who marked her work. The court had ordered an independent marking, but the school wrote repeatedly to the independent marker, in breach of the order. The pass mark assessed was rejected by the school. The school arranged a further assessment, which came back with a pass mark which they accepted. Two academics who were the source of one complaint had also sat in judgment on it.
Held: It was unfair of them to do so, and to do so again on the appeal. The decisions were set aside.
