Y v NHS Grampian [2024] CSOH 72

Paul Reid, KC and Euan Scott successfully represented NHS Grampian in a claim brought by parents of a young girl who alleged that two doctors had unreasonably raised concerns about Fabricated or Induced Illness. In what is understood to be the first such claim of its kind in Scotland, Lord Braid has held that the Health Board’s doctors acted reasonably and the admitted interference with the Article 8 rights of the girl and her family was justified.

Opinion of Lord Braid here.
