TOEIC Justice Project
Information, collaboration and litigation to help right the wrongs done to overseas students falsely accused of cheating on TOEIC tests
Since 2014, the Home Office has taken enforcement action against more than 35,000 former international students based on allegations that they cheated on a TOEIC English language test. A further 22,000 were told that their results were “questionable”, and left in limbo. Everyone now knows what a great many of these people knew at the time - they had been wrongly accused. Their lives and careers have been shattered by the false allegations and they have spent years fighting to have their names cleared through the courts and with tireless campaigning.
The TOEIC Justice Project is a joint initiative between the law firm Bindmans and the charity Migrant Voice, aiming to provide TOEIC victims with information and resources, collaboration with campaigners and test case litigation to help with their ongoing fight for justice.

Immigration Problems
Thousands of TOEIC victims have won their court battles to have their rights to stay in the UK restored. Read their stories and get help with your own immigration problems.

Compensation
If you have won your TOEIC immigration case, you may be able to bring a compensation claim for your financial losses (and if you have a pending appeal, you may be able to take action to protect your position on a future claim).
Bindmans is already acting for a group of TOEIC victims seeking compensation and looking to identify further test cases. Please contact us if you would like us to investigate further.

What students say:
“At this point in my life I have lost everything: my money, my reputation, my time, especially my time.”
“I was mentally tortured in the detention centre, where you have to share the room and the wings with criminals. I couldn’t sleep, had no proper food, and it was difficult to get medicines, even paracetamol. I was mistreated like a slave.”
“My family would not be able to accept me while I was accused of such wrongdoing.”
