The High Court today quashed a decision of the Office of the independent Adjudicator ( The OIA ) which ruled that a former student of the University of Leicester could not bring a complaint following the students request for re entry into medical school. The High Court in an important judgment regarding the jurisdiction of the OIA decided that the OIA had incorrectly interpreted its own rules so as to prevent the student's complaint from being heard. The OIA supported by the University of Leicester sought to argue that it could not seek to review a student's application for re-admission, but its argument was rejected by the High Court. Mr Justice Singh giving judgment today ruled that the complaint was a "qualifying complaint" under section 12 of the Higher Education Act 2004 resolving any uncertainty within the current law. Chris Mc Farland from Sinclairslaw stated "This case will serve as an important guide to the OIA's jurisdiction and, in particular, it will prevent the OIA from applying a blanket ban on reviewing complaints relating to re-admission." Mr Michael Charles CEO stated "This is yet another great result for a deserving student who should not have had to risk personal finances to bring this case to court." The High Court ruled that the defendant shall pay the claimants costs.
