The Case
It was appropriate for the court to exercise caution in reviewing a decision of the Preliminary Proceedings Committee (PPC) of the General Medical Council to refer a matter to the professional conduct committee. That caution was particularly appropriate if the court was asked to assess evidence of medical practice, or expert medical reports, with a view to determining whether the PPC could legitimately conclude that there was a real prospect of a charge or charges being proved.
