A medical student at University College Dublin (UCD) withdraws her appeal after the High Court rejected her claim that the university did not provide adequate support following allegations she was raped by a fellow student. According to reporting across outlets, the matter returns to court after the High Court decision, with the appeal considered through submissions earlier in the month. The appeal then does not proceed: the student withdraws the appeal and the court strikes it out. The court also makes an order concerning legal costs, requiring the student to cover UCD’s legal costs. The underlying dispute focuses on what support the university provided in the aftermath of the rape allegation and how that affected her study allowances. The sources do not add new substantive findings about the rape allegation itself, focusing instead on the procedural outcome of the appeal and the costs order.
