GMC v Dr Yeong [judgment 28.7.09]

Robert Kellar acted for Dr Yeong in this important case – the latest in the line of High Court authority on a key issue in the evolution of disciplinary jurisprudence, namely the admissibility of certain categories of evidence on the issue of impairment. This decision further develops the line of authority from Cohen, Zygmunt and lastly the case of GMC v Azzam in November 2008 in which Martin Forde QC of chambers acted.

NXS v London Borough of Camden (2009)
A local authority's failure to regularly monitor the situation of a child on the child protection register or make an adequate assessment of the risks constituted a breach of its duty of care, rendering it liable in negligence for its failure to take her into care earlier than it did in order to protect her from her mother's abuse.
Elizabeth-Anne Gumbel QC

 

 

(1) X (2) Y (Protected parties represented by their litigation friend the Official Solicitor) v Hounslow London Borough Council (2009)
A local authority owed no duty of care to transfer a married couple who had learning difficulties to temporary emergency housing, before they were sexually and physically assaulted by local youths, even though it was aware the couple were at risk. The local authority had been actively trying to re-house them and was carrying out its statutory duties, which did not give rise to a duty of care.
