Any decision to take legal action should only be made as a last resort having fully considered the appropriateness, reputational and cost implications to your institution and the University.
To initiate any court action, you must first refer to the Director of Finance11 and Legal Services12, who will advise on the next course of action.
If proceeding with court action, there is a risk that the court awards against the University, which would lead to further costs.
