Social Work England v Shingai Tutsirai Nyamapfene

The interim suspension order is extended for 14 months (to end of September 2026) because the allegations remain serious, the risk to the public persists, and the investigation is incomplete, but the court finds the delays unacceptable and expects the case to be concluded by then. The prejudice to the social worker does not yet outweigh the public interest, but this is likely the final extension barring exceptional circumstances.

  • Fitness to practise investigations
  • Delay in disciplinary proceedings
  • Public protection

PZP, R (on the application of) v HS Academy Trust & Anor

Both claims fail because the IRP made PZP's family aware of their right to adjourn for SEN expert, and the family voluntarily, knowingly waived it; IRP's recommendation for GDP reconsideration, though lacking explanation, was not materially irrational given subsequent GDP reconsideration; STW's claim fails as no evidence established X's involvement in prior incident, IRP's error on protected characteristic was immaterial, and equalities duties were substantively considered throughout the process.

  • Permanent exclusion
  • Special educational needs
  • Procedural fairness
  • Public sector equality duty
  • Racial discrimination
  • Judicial review standards

Shah Ali v General Medical Council

The tribunal was correct to find the appellant made a dishonest declaration, lacked insight, and posed a risk of repetition. The sanction of erasure was appropriate and proportionate given the gravity of misconduct and entrenched lack of insight. Procedural failings, allegations of bias, discrimination, and whistleblower status did not render the decision unjust.

  • Medical practitioner misconduct
  • Fitness to practise
  • Dishonesty
  • Dangerous driving
  • Sanction (erasure)
  • Procedural fairness
