Dr Manjula Krippendorf v The General Medical Council: PC 24 Nov 2000

(Reasons for report) When the Committee of Professional Performance was considering the standard of professional practice of a doctor, the committee should consider his actual record of practice as disclosed from the records of his practice, and should not judge the doctor against hypothetical performance in hypothetical cases. Their duties were not akin to an examination of a student. The committee had wrongly assessed the doctor on situations which had not occurred in her practice and she asserted that the tests had been on an area in which she was not practicing at the time.
