JR55, Re Application for Judicial Review (Northern Ireland): SC 11 May 2016

The Court was asked about the powers of the Complaints Commissioner under the 1996 Order, and in particular about his powers in relation to general medical practitioners working in the National Health Service and whether, and if so in what circumstances, the Complaints Commissioner has power to recommend the payment of a money sum to a complainant; and whether in the event that that sum is not paid he has power to make a special report drawing the attention of the legislature to that fact. The commissioner appealed from a decision that he did not have those powers.
Held: The appeal failed. Under article 9(3) of the 1996 Order, he may not carry out an investigation into any actions in respect of which the complainant has a remedy by way of proceedings in a court of law. This is, subject to article 9(4), a condition precedent to his jurisdiction.

West Bromwich Albion Football Club Ltd v El-Safty: QBD 14 Dec 2005

The claimant sought damages from the defendant surgeon alleging negligent care of a footballer. The defendant argued that he had no duty to the club as employer of his patient who was being treated through his BUPA membership. It would have created a conflict of interest if he had accepted a contractual obligation to the claimant.
Held: There was no intention to create legal relations between the parties, and there was no contract. There was in this case not sufficient proximity between the Claimant and the Defendant to give rise to a duty of care toward the claimant. It would not be just and equitable to impose such liability.

Bataliny v Russia: ECHR 23 Jul 2015

ECHR Article 3
Degrading treatment
Inhuman treatment
Involuntary psychiatric treatment including scientific research: violation
Facts – The first applicant was diagnosed with neurocirculatory dystonia and suffered from tachycardia and severe headaches. On 25 May 2005 he attempted suicide and was taken to a psychiatric hospital. His parents, the second and third applicants, were not allowed to take him home. The first applicant alleged that he had been beaten one night by nurses and patients. He further claimed that he was included in scientific research by entailing treatment with a new antipsychotic medication and was not allowed to have any contact with the outside world. He was discharged from hospital on 9 June 2005. Criminal proceedings regarding the alleged beatings were opened in November 2006 and suspended on four occasions. The proceedings were still pending when the European Court delivered its judgment. Since March 2007 the investigation concerning the first applicant’s involuntary placement in the psychiatric hospital was discontinued and resumed on several occasions before the applicants were informed in 2012 that the proceedings had become time-barred. In April 2008 a forensic psychiatric examination concluded that the first applicant’s involuntary hospitalisation had been justified but not his subsequent stay.
Law – Article 3 (substantive aspect): The applicant complained that his forced psychiatric treatment in the absence of an established medical need and in the framework of scientific research amounted to treatment prohibited by Article 3. According to the forensic medical examination of the first applicant in 2008, while his initial involuntary hospitalisation had been justified in view of his attempted suicide, his mental state in the following period did not fall under the definition of a ‘severe’ mental disorder or any other acute mental condition and did not require involuntary psychiatric treatment. Since no evidence proving otherwise was produced by the Government, the Court considered that the medical necessity for the first applicant’s involuntary psychiatric treatment had not been convincingly shown. Furthermore, the first applicant had been included in involuntary scientific research of a new drug and was denied all contact with the outside. All of the foregoing must have aroused in him feelings of fear, anguish, and inferiority capable of humiliating and debasing him.
Conclusion: violation (unanimously).
The Court also found a violation of Article 5 – 1 on account of the first applicant’s involuntary confinement in the psychiatric hospital, Article 5 – 4 on account of his inability to challenge the lawfulness of his continued detention and of Article 3 (under both the substantive and procedural aspects) for his alleged ill-treatment in the psychiatric hospital and the failure to conduct an effective investigation into those allegations.
Article 41: EUR 26,000 to the first applicant in respect of non-pecuniary damage; claim in respect of pecuniary damage dismissed.

West London Mental Health NHS Trust v Chhabra: SC 18 Dec 2013

The trust sought to begin disciplinary proceedings against the claimant, a consultant forensic psychologist alleging gross misconduct. She was said to have left confidential patient records on a train.
Held: Gross misconduct should be conduct which would involve a repudiatory breach of contract – namely conduct undermining trust and confidence which is inherent in the particular contract of employment such that the employer should no longer be required to retain the employee in his employment. he conduct would need to be so serious as to potentially make any further relationship and trust between the employer and employee impossible.
Lord Hodge explained how, by the Directions on Disciplinary Procedures 2005 issued pursuant to powers under s.17 of the 1977 Act. the Secretary of State for Health directed all NHS bodies in England and Wales to implement the full version of a framework policy agreed between the BMA and the Department of Health in a document entitled ‘Maintaining High Professional Standards in the Modern NHS’.
‘As a general rule it is not appropriate for the courts to intervene to remedy minor irregularities in the course of disciplinary proceedings between employer and employee – its role is not the ‘micro-management’ of such proceeding’

X v Y v St Bartholomew’s Hospital Centre for Reproductive Medicine (Assisted Reproduction: Parent): FC 13 Feb 2015

The required Form PP was not on the clinic’s file. Theis J set out four issues which accordingly arose: (1) Did X sign the Form PP so that it complied with section 37(1) of the 2008 Act? (2) If X did, was the Form PP subsequently mislaid by the clinic? (3) Was the treatment ‘provided under a licence’ as required by section 37(1)? (4) If the Form PP form was not signed can the court ‘read down’ section 37(1) to enable the court to make the declaration of parentage sought?
Held: ‘I have concluded, on the facts of this case, that it is more likely than not that X did sign the PP form on 26 October 2012, and it has subsequently been mislaid by the clinic. I have also concluded, in the circumstances of this case, the failure by the clinic to maintain records did not amount to a breach of the licence so as to invalidate it, so that the treatment was ‘provided under a licence’ as required by s. 37(1).’
Theis J summarised the statutory record requirements: ‘Section 12(1)(d) HFEA 1990 provides that one of the conditions of every licence granted is that ‘proper records shall be maintained in such form as the Authority may specify in directions’. Direction 0012 requires licensed centres to maintain for a period of 30 years certain specific records, including ‘all consent forms and any specific instructions relating to the use and/or disposal of gametes and embryos’ (paragraph 1(f)). Licence condition T47 provides ‘All records must be clear and readable, protected from unauthorised amendment and retained and readily retrieved in this condition throughout their specified retention period in compliance with the data protection legislation’. At paragraph 31.2 of the guidance it provides ‘A record is defined as ‘information created or received, and maintained as evidence by a centre or person, in meeting legal obligations or in transacting business. Records can be in any form or medium providing they are readily accessible, legible and indelible’.’
It is clear from the findings I have made about the clinic not keeping the PP form for X that the CRM is in breach of Direction 0012.’
