For someone aspiring to be a lawyer ... she should know that this case will fall through. Yes, the school is providing you a service, but unless you had a contracted agreement where they are guaranteeing you a specific mark the case won't hold. It's ridiculous plus she didn't even do her hsc at that school she did it at tafe. So it makes more sense to sue the tafe, but I'm assuming they were hoping that this wouldnt go to court but to get a settlement outside of court. Since they probably thought the school wouldn't want this to get out but since the case is dumb the school doesn't care, their rep isn't tarnished but her 's is.
