The Applicant was granted leave of this Court to apply for the orders of certiorari and mandamus. The Applicant commenced this main application for this Court to invoke its prerogative orders of certiorari and mandamus to quash the decision of the Board of Governors of the first Respondent concerning the appeal by the Applicant against her discontinuation from her studies. The first Respondent is a higher learning institution that was established since 1973 under the Institute of Social Work Act [Cap 110 R.E. 2002]. The Institute performs the public duty of conducting academic training programmes at the levels of certificates, diplomas, undergraduate degrees, postgraduate and other awards. The Applicant was a final year student at the Institute pursuing a postgraduate diploma in social work. The Applicant complains that when she received the score of the written examination, she was marked as failed. She took the supplementary examination, but could not manage to score the required marks. Following this, she was at first told that she had to repeat a year of study. This position was later changed and she was told that she had been discontinued. Attempts to have her results reviewed failed when on 14th April 2008, the Faculty Appeal Board rejected her appeal. Further, the first Respondent’s Board of Governors decided against her appeal. The Applicant has identified a number of errors apparent on the face of the record of proceedings dealing with her appeal against her discontinuation from studies. Apart from a written appeal, the Applicant claims that she was never given an audience to state her case. The Applicant points out that the first Respondent failed to honour the applicable examination regulation.
