RCVS v Samuel - College's sanction deemed unfair

Today, the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council has quashed the decision of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons to remove Dr Gary Samuel from the register of veterinary surgeons.

Vet Juris has yet to critically analyse the Privy Council's judgment. But, in his conclusion Lord Toulson said that the Committee's (RCVS) finding that Dr Samuel was unfit to practise "cannot fairly stand".
