Fantasia Productions Ltd v London Borough of Redbridge [2026] EWHC 698 (Admin) (04 March 2026)

The GMC does not owe a common law duty of care to doctors under investigation regarding timing, manner, or content of notification, as such a duty would be inconsistent with its statutory obligations to protect the public and conduct investigations. The operational duty under Article 2 ECHR does not arise in the context of regulatory investigations, as the circumstances do not amount to 'well-defined circumstances' and the GMC did not have actual or constructive knowledge of a real and immediate risk to life. Both claims are bound to fail and are struck out or summarily dismissed.
