Inquiry into Buckingham University chief’s relationship with young woman ‘flawed’

Lawyer who cleared James Tooley did not have access to WhatsApps and diaries that triggered the investigation

A leading barrister who cleared the University of Buckingham's vice-chancellor of wrongdoing over his relationship with a young Indian woman did not have access to evidence relevant to the investigation.

The university commissioned Joseph O'Brien KC to investigate James Tooley over allegations he had an inappropriate relationship with the woman.
