## The Right of Appeal to the Courts

The ultimate remedy for the protection of student rights is judicial appeal: Article 43 of the Law on Higher Education grants the student this right directly. The same article provides that the manner of examining matters connected with student cases is determined by the institution's charter or regulations and by Georgian legislation — internal mechanisms thus do not replace external control but complement it.

A court appeal becomes relevant where internal remedies are exhausted or unsuitable — and determining that moment precisely is part of the defence strategy.
