So she managed to get a 2.1 at Oxford, so knew how to do exams, etc...
But was not cut out at the Oxford Institute of Legal Practice to pass the exams in 2005... so 6 years later in 2011 she decides to sue them for £100k
Why do you ask... because those failures in 2005 meant that 3 years later, she went and failed her New York bar examinations in 2008... All down to the traumatic experiences in 2005... its just taken another 3 years until 2011 to realise it.
I so hope she loses and is out of pocket by 5 figures and then even more when the OXILP decide to counter and claim damages...

I did an open book LPC. I would have actually preferred it to be closed book to be honest as I might have actually done some work for it!
mergers and acquisitions - christ I couldnt tell you anything about it, before, or after the exam - totally flying by the seat of my pant in most of the exams..

Sorry we are unable to accept comments for legal reasons.
Why is she going to sue everyone if they say she's a bit of a thicko and a munter to boot.

No, I don't think they can. It would then set a precedent for all people who fail their exams to sue.s off I should thinkAnd I believe the article said that counsel had already made submissions in the High Court, which means it has got to trial so they are defending it.
The bottom line however is that I can't see her working in law ever again (notwithstanding the fact that she's a paralegal!).

It's going to cost the silly cow a good few grand to have gone to a solicitor, who will have in turn gone to counsel etc etc. So after a bit of disclosure, a few shots across each other's bows and an application for security for costs (which might be what counsel is making submissions on) she might not think it's such a good idea to run this to the wire and she might be delighted to net 7 or 8 grand.
A quick google suggests that she has in fact qualified elsewhere and litigates in aviation law - but that might not be her.
