Jobless Oxford graduate sues parents for financial support

In an unprecedented move, a 41-year-old unemployed Oxford graduate has dragged his parents to court in a bid to force them to pay him financial support for life, claim reports.

Faiz Siddiqui who has a law degree from Oxford University is a trained lawyer and has even worked for a series of law firms.

The Oxford-graduate lawyer has been jobless since 2011 and is currently demanding his Dubai-based parents to support him financially life-long.

Siddiqui’s Dubai-based parents have let him live rent-free at a £1 million flat they own near London’s Hyde Park for 20 years.

Not only that, his parents have also been providing him with more than £400-a-week in addition to helping him with his bills.

However, his parents now want to cut his financial support after a family dispute. Not taking this decision lightly, he sued his parents arguing that he is entitled to a lifelong maintenance grant.

The case against his parents claiming maintenance was thrown out last year by a family court judge, and it will now be heard at the Court of Appeal.

Siddiqui had also taken legal action against Oxford University in 2018 and sought Rs 40.56 crore and claimed that “inadequate teaching” led to his 2:1 degree instead of a first.
