The part where you started to get snippy and accuse me of attacks for telling you not to waste your money, not 1 person here inc several education professionals, thinks such a lawyers letter/approach would work. That's not being dismissive, it's the reality, we know that letter will do 0 and cost £200+.


There has nothing to do with "aggressive".

How do I know if they have simply continued to set me up to fail


I don't - but you've got a chance to qualify, it seems silly to waste it by distracting yourself with grand plans to sue.

I can only do anything within my capacity and their material constraint, i.e. lab conditions

I think in that case you are falling for the sunk cost fallacy, where you have committeed a lot to an endeavour, so you must persist with it no matter the likliehood of a postive outcome.

Both myself and The_Lonely_Goatherd have alluded to the fact that legal action will take an extraordinary amount of time, money and mental energy. I appreciate there is a strong sense of not wanting them "to get away with it" or do the same to others, but you have to weigh up the likliehood of success versus what you've got left in the tank and what you could better be doing with that expenditure.


Probably. How I wish it was.

The SPSO caseworker has invoked the Support and Intervention Policy due to the university's prolonged non-response.

The caseworker said they aimed to make a decision in the coming few days.

The SPSO only agreed with the point that the university didn't follow part of the Model Complaints Handling Procedures (MCHP) when handling my Stage 2 complaint. I am not quite satisfied & have already prepared a decision review request. Should I still consider taking legal actions against the university for the detrimental impact caused to my academics & personal well-being?
I don't think anyone so far thought that suing would be a worthwhile expenditure of your time, effort and money.

No one can tell you whether you want to do it anyway.

I understand, though I have suffered too much. I don't really know what the best course of action is.
