‘Linda O’Brien died on 9 May 2020 having fallen from the window of her flat. Alan McMahon, her former partner, was inside at the time. A five-year restraining order prohibited him from contacting her or entering her building. A month earlier, on 7 April 2020, four Merseyside Police officers attended the flat after a neighbour reported screaming. They found McMahon there. None was aware of the restraining order, and each later accepted that, had they known of it, they would have arrested him. What the PNC showed that night was never established. No evidence about it was before either court, though the Court of Appeal considered there was reason to suspect the order was there to be seen [12] [49].’

‘Appeals against the decisions of regulators, whether pursued by the professional or by the regulating body, are unpredictable affairs. Given the near-infinite variety of factual circumstances, it is difficult to lay down legal rules. So tribunal decisions on facts are “virtually unassailable” [Southall], but that should not be taken to mean “practically impossible” [Byrne] and appeal courts will “correct material errors of fact and law” [Jagjivan]. Whereas decisions on sanction attract respect with “particular force” [Fatnani], although “there may be matters such as dishonesty or sexual misconduct where the court is likely to feel that it can assess what is needed …” [Jagjivan again].’

‘Mr Rahman was referred to the GDC following a complaint by a dental nurse in 2023. The subsequent investigation uncovered a pattern of inappropriate, racial and sexual conduct towards mainly female staff and patients. The Committee found most of the alleged conduct proved but considered the majority of the sexual remarks were not sexually motivated. The Committee accepted an alternative explanation that the remarks were intended to be provocative or to “get a rise out of” someone, or were made with the intention of asserting authority, as opposed to them being sexually motivated. It imposed a six-month suspension.’
