Zoe Gannon appeared for the Claimant, the London School of
Science and Technology, in the successful first judicial review challenge to a
malpractice decision made by Pearson Education Limited (“Pearson”). The
case concerned a challenge to the procedure and the sanctions imposed against
both the Centre and the Head of Centre by Pearson. The Court upheld the
challenge to the procedure and the sanctions against the Head of Centre, but
rejected the challenge to the malpractice finding against the Centre
itself. The case also confirms that an employer may have standing to
bring judicial review on behalf of an employee.
The judgment is here.
