The student appealed a decision of his university to the Independent Adjudicator for Higher Education. The adjudicator looked only at the procedures followed by the university. The student complained that he had not looked at the underlying facts.
Held: Leave to bring judicial review was refused. The Adjudicator had a wide discretion, and no fault in law had been shown in how he had exercised it. Students in such situtaions would often have the alternative of a civil claim direct against the university.
