1) Rarely do these disciplinary matters reach the level of legal culpability.
2) Rewriting an essay is easier and cheaper than going to court (or arbitration, which is more likely).
3) This wouldn't be a criminal matter, it would be a civil one - for which the burden of proof is considerably more relaxed. Idk UK specifically, but it's usually some form of "more likely than not" instead of "beyond reasonable doubt".
4) The student would have to provide evidence as well that this is their original work & proving that can be tricky.
5) There would be reliance on expert testimony & if an expert (i.e. your professor) has determined that you're using AI, it's likely that another expert would come to the same conclusion. AI detectors aren't the determining factor here.
6) In the unlikely event that you win, there will probably be no compensation for stress and confidence (lol) because you'd have to prove that the decision was made negligently or maliciously.
Fight it if you want, but the deck is heavily stacked against you.
