"boring" teaching which allegedly resulted
in him getting a second class degree and in
turn led to a loss of earnings in his career
as a lawyer.
Faiz Siddiqui, 38, studied modern history
at Brasenose College at the university and
accuses its staff of "negligent" teaching of
his specialist subject course on Indian
imperial history, which led to him getting a
2:1 back in 2000, the High Court in London
heard this week.
The trained solicitor now suffers from
depression and insomnia, which he has
linked to exam results and which he claims
has led to an inability to hold down a long
term job.
He is bringing a loss of earning claim
against his chancellor, masters, and
scholars of Oxford University, which
lawyers have valued at £1 million.
