No case to answer for doctor accused of bullying behaviour and dishonesty

Dr FPJ instructed Kings View to represent her in her GMC fitness to practise hearing before the MPTS. This was an unusual and complicated case as it was predicated on complaints made by an ex-employee in her private clinic who made 35 pages of allegations.

The GMC focused on the most relevant ones and accused the doctor of both bullying behaviour and dishonesty. We launched a legal argument which precipitated a determination which required a change of defence. Before the listed hearing we spent 4 months going through phone records, text messages, e-mails and journal entries. We served on the GMC a 35-page statement and almost 800 pages of the most relevant communications.

The bundle was so damning of the GMC witness that they referred the matter back to the Case Examiners, who decided the case must be stopped. The evidence took them through each day of the two-year employment, unpicking each and every allegation made. Not only did the Case Examiners decide the case could not continue – they made clear the dossier proved their witness to be untruthful.

Dr FPJ stated that she did not know how to express her gratitude and that every single doctor she knew would have our details. She said she was so grateful to have left her previous representatives and thanked us for all our hard work.

“Stephen – words fail me. Absolutely outstanding. Thank you – I will be telling everyone.”
