The High Court allowed the GMC’s appeal against a no-impairment decision in Dr Sathyanath’s case, quashing findings on clinical indication and sexual motivation.
The High Court allowed the GMC’s appeal in part, quashing the no-impairment decision and remitting affected allegations after finding errors in the Tribunal’s reasoning on Patient B and Patient F.
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.
Source excerpt
The Court of Appeal held that the High Court judge's evaluative decision to substitute a 12-month suspension with review for erasure was within the bounds of reasonable decision-making, properly applied the Sanctions Guidance, and gave sufficient reasons. Erasure was not mandatory; suspension was a serious sanction marking the gravity of the misconduct, and remediation was possible and evidenced.
