Scott Clair: Inner House success for respondent health boards in regulatory appeal
Scott Clair acted for the three successful respondent health boards in the regulatory appeal by Saranjit Nandhra against a decision and associated order of the – rarely constituted – NHS Tribunal. In refusing the appeal, the Inner House held that the NHS Tribunal was entitled to find that the appellant was an unsuitable person to continue to be listed in the dental lists maintained by the respective health boards, given he lacked integrity in that he had in effect sought to demobilise dental services and profit from an emergency payment scheme introduced by the Scottish Government that was intended to remobilise those services during the Covid-19 pandemic.
