Scandalous
“The Regent House was the official governing body of the University of Cambridge. Usually it only ever met in the grand neoclassical Senate House on King’s Parade to award degrees, or to elect a new chancellor. But today, sensationally, the master of St. Michael’s had summoned a special congregation—Cambridge’s equivalent of a court martial—to settle the increasingly embarrassing and bitter dispute between Professor Theo Dexter and his second-year pupil, Sasha Miller.
Of course, today was only the university’s decision. Theoretically, Sasha could still pursue Theo in the British courts. But the six-hundred-pounds-an-hour lawyer Don Miller had engaged was blunt about her chances.
“If the university goes against you, it will be very difficult to win a civil case. I hesitate to say impossible. But if you pursue Dexter and you lose, the court will most likely award him damages and costs. Add that to your own legal fees and you could be looking at a bill running into millions of pounds.”
