When Jack Simm’s arrived at university and found his accommodation was in poor condition he decided to do what any self-respecting law student would do and took his landlord to court – winning his first ever case with the help of his textbooks.
The 19-year-old was in his first year at the University of East Anglia when he arrived at his student accommodation in Norwich,
England, to find that “it was a building site, there were skips everywhere, tradesmen everywhere”.
After a week, Jack moved out and stopped paying his rent. Despite being threatened with recovery action by a debt collector,
he turned to his textbooks and took the landlord to court for the first victory of his legal career.
