Reconsidering the same allegation

61. Under some circumstances the University may reconsider the same allegation, taking account of the following:

(i) Whether new evidence is available which could not have been disclosed at an earlier stage, and with a good reason.

(ii) The length of time that has elapsed and the effect of this on the reliability of the evidence.

(iii) The impact on the responding student of undergoing a second investigation.

(iv) Whether leaving the matter unaddressed would impact on the University’s obligations under its own Rules and Regulations, or the external requirements of professional or regulatory bodies.
