Two recent decisions, in the Abrahart and Feder cases, have placed the duty of care owed by universities to their students back in the spotlight. While the High Court declined to make any findings in relation to the duty of care in the Abrahart decision, the judge in the Feder case found that the institution had breached the duty of care it owed to the students concerned in relation to protecting and supporting them as well as in relation to the disciplinary investigation and communicating (as well as enforcing) the outcome. The Feder decision is not precedent setting, but together with the new guidance published by the Office for Students, it is likely there will be an increase in the number of claims by students arising from sexual misconduct and harassment.
