Application by defendants to strike out claims of plagiarism.
Held: Ms Ukoumunne has no prospect of showing that the Defendants have infringed any copyright owned by her, or that they are in breach of a duty of confidence owed to her, or have otherwise made what might be termed unauthorised use of literary or artistic works. In short, her complaint to the University, the allegation of plagiarism by Dr Warmington, Professor Grosvenor and/or Dr Myers, could never have been successful.
