You can challenge any grade with the dean and other independent bodies. I've done it before. It's a very good process. I think it's ridiculous this student took this issue to court instead of dealing with it the proper way. My father had a particular issue with one professor who graded him unfairly, and it was sent to the dean of his department, and he decided to mark it himself. He said it deserved an a, and let the original professor know. What's so difficult about that?
The vast majority of the academic world is open to hearing ideas, and grading fairly based on merit. The few who aren't are ruining education, and we have systems in place to get around them.
