In this specific case, we implemented prompt and thorough measures by engaging with both the University proceedings and the Crown Prosecution Service at an early stage. We sought the expertise of counsel specialising in professional discipline and criminal proceedings. Through the meticulous application of our specialised knowledge from the outset, we successfully dismantled the weighty allegations well before reaching the Crown Court trial stage.
Through the hard work and determination of our team Sunpritha Jutlla and Glenda Hair and James Lloyd of Mountford Chambers, the criminal proceedings were conclusively terminated, with the Crown offering no evidence, leading to the formal acquittal of our client, who is now free to resume their studies.
Facing serious criminal charges can be a life-altering ordeal, especially for university students whose academic and professional futures hang in the balance.
