  • Can my university issue a CCJ against me?

    I started my study for my master degree in UK in 2020. After one month and a half, I intercalated and did not return. According to the refund policy of the university, students with a last date of study / attendance beyond Month 1, will become liable for the full academic year's tuition fee. Therefore, the university requires me to pay the tuition fee for the whole academic year. They said they might take legal action if I do not pay it.
    According to consumer protection law which applies to higher education providers, terms of university should be fair and balanced. Significant imbalance’ is concerned with whether a term is weighted in the HE provider’s favour so that it tilts the balance of the contractual rights and obligations significantly in the HE provider’s favour. Students with a last date of study / attendance beyond Month 1, will become liable for the full academic year's tuition fee. This term obviously weighted in the University’s favour. There is a huge imbalance between the university and students in this term.
    Does the university have right to issue a CCJ to require me to pay the full academic year's tuition fee?

    It has the right to take you to court, in a process that can lead to a judgement against you.

    You have the right to defend.

    In such a situation the court will consider the evidence and legal arguments, and will decide.
