      He said the 'friend' was not a UK resident or citizen. You can never be 100% sure but the guy calling has a standard southern English middle class accent (sounds 100% like he was brought up in UK and is almost certainly a citizen) so my guess is it is a 'friend'.

    Knew the contract terms, got the benefits then decided he didn’t want to “pay” when it didn’t suit him ? Getting judgments converted or enforced outside England isn’t easy. Daniel made that sound easy via boxes and it’s definitely not.

    Translation: My “friend” took out a contract and got loads of money, but didn’t want to hold up his side of the agreement and now wants to know if he can just get out of it by skipping the country.

    The chances of the institution getting a judgment and enforcing the same are very low. Presumably there are reasons why he didn’t want to carry on which might mean the institution are in breach of their obligations. This will almost certainly be written off.

      That is absolute nonsense. English institutions, particularly educational ones, regularly enforce judgements against students all over the world for a wide variety of reasons.
      The exact requirement varies from country to country, but for most of the countries where the majority of international students come from (China, the US, India, Saudi Arabia etc.), any educational institution that accepts students from those countries will have well established procedures here. They will have contacts in the students home country and be familiar with the laws on both sides. Furthermore, I can promise you this won’t be the first time they’ve had to deal with this situation with any of those countries.
      Basically, British higher education is amongst the best in the world and the wealthy of most countries send their children to be educated here for a reason. As universities are effectively subsidised by the government, when international students default on fees it is usually the government that ends up paying the bill. Therefore, we have very well established relationships with most countries allowing universities to pursue judgements internationally.
      I have personally witnessed judgements in English courts be enforced in China, India, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and the US. And my experience is not exhaustive.
