Last week the students' first legal attempt to recover their fees failed in the NSW Supreme Court. They were told that their statutory demand was the incorrect legal avenue for seeking a refund
The students haven't exactly hired the sharpest legal aid in the business. The requirements in issueing a statutory demand are that there is absolutely no possibility of contest. So now they have to do it all again, except traditionally in a proceding such as this, they will have to pay the named parties costs.
Intelligence fail.
