ANONYMITY ORDER

On 6 September 2024, the Upper Tribunal made the following order, which remains in force—

“3. Having considered the provisions of Rule 14(1)(b) of the 2008 Rules and the reasons given by the Respondent in the 25 July 2024 letter, I order prohibiting publication of any matter or disclosure of any documents likely to lead members of the public directly or indirectly to identify the following persons.

a. [the client for whom the appellant was caring]

b. [the son of that client].

4. Any breach of the order at paragraph [3] above is liable to be treated as a contempt of court and punished accordingly (section 25 of the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007).”.

We have used ciphers for both in the decision—

a. The client for whom the appellant was caring is named as ES

b. ES’s son is named as HC.
