An Oxford graduate is suing the university for £1m on the grounds that his failure to get a top degree 17 years ago cost him the chance of a lucrative legal career. The legal battle between Siddiqui and Oxford has been ongoing for more than a year. Siddiqui’s employment history after Oxford in legal and tax roles was “frankly poor” and he was now unemployed, the barrister added. “Mr Siddiqui has been badly let down by Oxford. The university denies negligence and causation and says the case has been brought “massively” outside the legal time limit.
