- CACV418/2001
The Court dismissed the appeal and upheld the Medical Council's finding of professional misconduct and the 12-month removal: the particulars were not duplicitous, procedural complaints (including late sitting and alleged denial of reply) did not cause unfairness given counsel's acquiescence, the standard of proof applied was appropriate to the gravity of the allegations, and overwhelming evidence supported findings that the appellant knowingly prescribed and allowed supply of Dexamethasone, failed to inform or monitor the patient and made dishonest, misleading entries in the medical record.
