title: Insightlessness and an unscientific forensic expert.
abstract: In Council for Regulation of Healthcare Professionals v General Medical Council [2005] EWHC 579 (Admin) Collins J heard an appeal relating to sanctions imposed on a medical practitioner who had provided medically unjustifiable opinions in relation to the person responsible for the death of a child in a notorious case for which a solicitor had been convicted of murdering her two sons. The author analyses and evaluates the considerations determined by Collins J to have justified the imposition of conditions rather than erasure of the practitioner from the Medical Register.
