What the petition asks
The Government should abolish all powers enabling legal action to be taken against students for non-payment of student tuition fees and accommodation for the academic year 2020/2021. Students that default on financial commitments for this period should not face any legal action.
Support students that have been affected by the COVID pandemic by providing them with protection from legal action, such as debt enforcement and eviction proceedings, for the 2020/2021 academic year.
