- Court of Appeal
The Court refused special leave because the core complaints were factual determinations upheld by the High Court: the practitioner knowingly disengaged from the process so the Tribunal was entitled to proceed in his absence and, on the facts, supervision was not a realistic or adequate alternative given prior misconduct and the practitioner's failure to propose concrete supervision, making striking off not disproportionate.
