- High Court
The Court found there was a serious question to be tried on contractual and fiduciary claims because Anglesea suspended the plaintiff without prior notice or fair process, failed to conduct the impartial external review it had promised, and continued suspension despite the Medical Council's clear finding of no present risk; damages were inadequate given reputational harm and the balance of convenience favored immediate reinstatement of operating privileges pending further order.
