General Medical Council, R (on the application of) v Syed [2005] EWHC 1209 (Admin) (26 May 2005)

The extension of the interim order is justified by cogent evidence of serious deficiencies in Mr Syed's professional performance, the need to protect the public, and the ongoing process to determine his fitness to practise. The absence of notice to Mr Syed is mitigated by granting him liberty to apply for variation or discharge of the order on one week's notice.
