High Court proceedings have begun in a case where a young woman is suing her university for damages, claiming the institution failed to make allowances for her to re-sit exams missed after she alleges she was seriously assaulted by a male student. The student asserts that she was initially denied the derogation to resit missed May 2023 exams despite providing medical certificates stating she felt too unwell to attend. The university, a third-level institute, states that a range of options was offered to the student and that those options were rejected. The legal claim centers on accommodation decisions and alleged failures to protect student welfare.
