The applicant student was in dispute with his University. He sought to appeal to the University Visitor, who delegated his assessment. The student complained.
Held: The student was entitled to a decision from the Visitor, and a delegation of his duties would not be a fulfillment of his duties. The Visitor’s decision was final, and it was important that it be carried out properly. The student should have been given opportunity to comment on the advice given by the commissioner to the Visitor, though those comments would be limited to points of law.
