The U owes this unfortunate would-be student a chunky amount of compensation for breach of contract - with interesting issues as to the amount such compensation that might be reduced because the S has through her efforts hopefully to some degree mitigated her loss. Probably £Xk for anxiety/hassle/stress and £Yk for any direct loss such as travel costs; assuming no compensation is now needed for what might have been a ‘wasted’ year if thankfully an alternative acceptable course has so quickly been found.
