General Medical Council v Makki [2014] EWHC 4079 (Admin) (01 October 2014)

The court found that there remained a small risk to the public and minimal impact on Dr Makki from the interim conditions, justifying their extension until 19 December 2014. The delays were not attributable to the GMC. Dr Makki's opposition to the extension was deemed unreasonable, warranting an order for costs limited to the additional costs caused by the hearing.
