Wakefield v Channel Four Television Corp & Ors [2006] EWHC 3289 (QB) (21 December 2006)

Description

Confidentiality Assurances not absolute. Assurances of confidentiality of medical records given to patients by the General Medical Council when it was investigating serious criticisms of a doctor could not be regarded as absolute, since, as well as being subject to the Civil Procedure Rules 1998 and their implementation by the court, the assurances might be subject to overriding requirements that other considerations be given priority, the matter being determined by where the interests of justice lay.
