Anonymity
Anonymity
A GP who had worked in partnership with the appellants was anonymised in the MPTS written documents and in other legal proceedings arising from events that this judgment covers. No application for anonymity was made in relation to the present appeal and I was not shown the terms of any anonymity order made by this or any other court.
I asked the parties whether anonymity was sought. Mr Dunlop confirmed that no anonymity was sought and that the principle of open justice should prevail. Mr Ojo made no submissions on the point. I shall therefore use the name of the GP in this judgment.
