The Parties and reporting
The Parties and reporting
There are cross appeals so; to avoid confusion in the use of the words Appellant and Respondent, I am going to refer to Doctor Foy-Yamah as “Dr Foy” and the General Medical Council as “the GMC”. The former is a consultant physician working at a hospital in Blackpool. The latter is the regulatory body for doctors. I shall refer to the complainant as Ms A. Her name has been anonymised because she made allegations of rape and sexual assault against Dr Foy and an anonymity order which I made governs the reporting of the appeal hearing and this judgment.
Bundles
For the hearing I was provided with a core bundle, an authorities bundle, three exhibits bundles, three transcript bundles and skeleton arguments from each party in each appeal.
