Welcome to the January 2020 edition of Capsticks’ Regulatory Newsletter.

In this edition we have reviewed the following cases: 

• Professional Standards Authority for Health and Social Care v Health and Care Professions Council and Wood [2019] EWHC 2819 (Admin) -  a case where the Court allowed an appeal by the Professional Standards Authority on the basis that there had been significant under-charging by the regulator.
  
• Sait v General Medical Council [2019] EWHC 3279 (Admin) - a case where Mr Justice Mostyn took the opportunity to clarify the definition of acting with sexual motivation that he had set out in the case of Basson v GMC (2018).
• Professional Standards Authority for Health and Social Care v General Dental Council and Hussain [2019] EWHC 2640 (Admin) - where the Court held the failure to put before a restoration panel a High Court judgment in which Mr Hussain had been held to be dishonest was a serious procedural irregularity which led to the decision to restore being quashed.
• Arowojolu v General Medical Council [2019] EWHC 3155 (Admin) - where the Court held that a legally qualified chair had misdirected the panel in how to approach evidence of previous allegations made by the complainant.
