The UK Supreme Court delivered a decision on 29 July 2015 overturning a refusal of student loan to an overseas student for higher education. The subject overseas student came to the UK at the age of 6, attended primary and secondary schools there and recently secured a place at a UK university. She was refused a student loan under the Government backed scheme but the Supreme Court has now held that such refusal, which stops anyone apart from UK citizens and people with indefinite leave to remain status in the UK from obtaining a student loan, was disproportionate and unjustified and was thus overturned.
