"Judge also awards costs against the young woman"
"The High Court has dismissed a lawsuit in which a young woman sued the university she is attending, claiming it failed to make allowances for her to resit exams she missed after being seriously assaulted by a male student."

A young woman sued the university she attends, claiming the institution failed to allow resits for exams missed after she was seriously assaulted by a male student. The student provided medical certificates stating she felt too unwell to sit the May 2023 exams. The university initially denied a derogation to permit resits for those missed exams. The student brought legal action in the High Court challenging that denial. The High Court dismissed the lawsuit and the judge awarded legal costs against the young woman, leaving her without the requested resit relief.
