Quite shocking! Is it possible to see the full dataset? I think we should be able to see how much of our scarce HE resources are going on this in each institution.

Prudent use of student fees - is it not interesting that with a single exception the Universities in the two tables (lawyers vs settlements) are different? Could this difference be an indicator of different management tactics? I wonder whether the various tribunal hearings reported in these pages in the first few months of 2014 (i.e. from Queen Mary University of London and Imperial College) were counted (as the claims fell within the period 2010-2013). Sad but telling that these two institutions appear to invest so heavily in lawyers.

Congratulations to the University of West London for their award of THE Outstanding HR Team. I can't see their data in this spreadsheet - is it available?
