The Court of Discipline met on 3 December 2001 (Professor W. R. Cornish in the Chair, Mrs N. Blanning, Dr G. Meeks, Mr A. J. Raban, and Professor K. Spark-Jones; Clerk: Dr A. Clark) to consider a charge brought by the University Advocate that an undergraduate had used unfair means, namely the use of unauthorized material, in a Tripos Examination in 2001. On the application of the undergraduate the Court consisted of senior members only; and sat in camera. The Court concluded that the offence was serious and that there was a need to mark it by significant penalty, but they also took into account substantial evidence in mitigation which was presented. The Court also took into account that the student had admitted the offence, and had expressed remorse and profound regret.
The Court ordered that the student's candidature for Honours in the relevant examination should be cancelled and noted that this would have the effect of giving the student the allowance towards the Ordinary B.A. Degree.
