The tribunal extended an interim suspension order against a residential childcare worker for six months, finding the public protection and public interest tests remained met.
Aston v United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy [2025] EWHC 3288 (KB) (17 December 2025)
The High Court refused an interim injunction against a UKCP interim suspension order, holding that public protection and public confidence outweighed the claimant’s losses.
The refusal to adjourn the disciplinary hearing was not wrong; appellant failed to provide adequate medical evidence and had sufficient opportunity to secure legal representation. The findings of fact, misconduct, impairment, and sanction were reasonable and supported by evidence. The striking-off order and interim suspension order were appropriate given the seriousness of dishonesty and regulatory breaches.

Social Work England v Nyamapfene [2025] EWHC 3389 (Admin) (15 April 2025)
The High Court extended an interim suspension order against a social worker for 14 months, but criticised Social Work England for avoidable investigation delays.
General Medical Council v Jain [2025] EWHC 733 (Admin) (28 January 2025)
The High Court refused recusal and dismissed the GMC’s bid to extend Dr Jain’s interim suspension, finding the allegations and risk did not justify further delay.
The court found that, despite the delay and the hardship to Mr Edmund, there remains sufficient evidential basis and public interest justification for a short extension of the ISO. However, the 18-month extension sought by SWE was disproportionate given the lack of progress in the investigation and the ongoing detrimental impact on Mr Edmund. A 5-month extension was granted to allow for concrete investigative steps and further review.

Budzichowska v Nursing and Midwifery Council [2024] EWHC 2835 (Admin) (08 November 2024)
High Court dismissed a challenge to an NMC interim suspension order, holding it was necessary and proportionate, but reduced its duration from 18 to 12 months.
A 16-month extension of the interim suspension order is necessary and proportionate to protect the public and maintain public confidence, given the ongoing regulatory process, SWE's resource constraints, and the need for realistic case management. The prejudice to the defendant is outweighed by public interest imperatives.
Source excerpt
The extension of the Interim Suspension Order is necessary and justified for public protection and public confidence, given the unresolved allegations, the upcoming hearing, and the risk assessment based on substantive adverse determinations. The court declined to make a prospective order under CPR 5.4C(2) as open justice principles prevail and no restriction is justified. Mandatory review provisions do not apply to this ISO as it follows a final order.
