 Kevin Wilkinson, Aston University
Aston University faces a High Court claim for more than £100,000 in damages next week from a former PhD student who hopes to set a legal precedent and consign the quasi-judicial visitor system to history.
Case law has established that the visitor's jurisdiction is exclu­sive, and the courts have usually refused to hear cases against universities with a visitor who in practice is usually represented by the Privy Council or Lord Chancellor's department.
With his argument tacitly backed by the government, which plans to legislate to scrap the visitor next year, he is hop­ing to set a legal precedent and ask the High Court to override the visitor's jurisdiction.
