Oxford graduate sues parents over lifetime maintenance loan

Sounds like a man-child to me

An Oxford University graduate, who previously sued the university only to give it a score of 2: 1, is now sue his parents in order to receive a maintenance allowance for life.

Faiz Siddiqui, 41, a law graduate, says he is entirely dependent on his parents and that as a “vulnerable” adult child with health problems, he believes he is entitled to a maintenance allowance.

Siddiqui is currently unemployed and says denying him the money is a violation of his human rights. Currently, Siddiqui lives in a £ 1million apartment in Hyde Park without rent after being unemployed since 2011.

The apartment is owned by his mother Rakshanda, 69, and his father Javed, 71, who give him £ 400 a week and help him pay his bills.

However, now his parents want to cut his funding after paddling with him and their lawyer told The Sun they have their own opinion on what is an appropriate arrangement for their son.

Justin Warshaw QC said: “These long-suffering parents have their own take on what is right for their ‘difficult, demanding and stubborn’ son.”

Siddiqui’s lawsuit against his parents follows his earlier case in 2018 when he sued Oxford University for giving it a 2: 1 rather than a first.

He claimed the teaching was “appalling” and “boring” and prevented him from getting a place in a law course at a major American university like Yale or Harvard.

Siddiqui and his lawyer argued the loss of earnings was valued at £ 1million, but his case was dismissed in court.
