In Nurrish v Nursing and Midwifery Council, the High Court overturned the panel's finding of deliberate dishonesty that resulted in the appellant's removal from the nursing register. The court identified procedural irregularities and a lack of sufficient evidence for the dishonesty claim. As a result, the finding of impairment was also set aside, and the case was remitted for reconsideration by a differently-constituted panel regarding the appellant's fitness to practise and any appropriate sanction.
Issues
- Did the panel err in finding that the Appellant was deliberately dishonest in her evidence during the January 2025 hearing, given the circumstances and manner of questioning she faced?
- Was the panel's conclusion regarding the Appellant's fitness to practise remaining impaired justified, considering the lack of clear evidence supporting the finding of dishonesty?
- Did the procedural irregularities during the hearing, including the failure to adequately address the Appellant's anxiety and the nature of the questioning, impact the fairness of the panel's decision?
