Appeals of panel decisions in the High Court

18 of them were upheld ( won ).

5 of them were taken to the High Court by the Professional Standards Authority ( when the PSA feel the NMC have been too lenient ) - they were all won.

13 of them were done by registrants - 4 were won and 9 lost. We are attempting to find out through a Freedom of Information Request how many were represented and how many were self litigants
