The dentist had been accused of participating in a fraud involving making false claims for travel expenses.
Held: The allegation was insufficient to justify suspension of the dentist’s registration. Davis J said: ‘It is a very serious thing indeed for a dentist or a doctor to be suspended. It is serious in many cases just because of the impact on that person’s right to earn a living. It is serious in all cases because of the detriment to him in reputational terms. Accordingly, it is, in my view, likely to be a relatively rare case where a suspension order will be made on an interim basis on the ground that it is in the public interest.’
