The Helen Webberley Tribunal

6 Oct, 8 tweets, 2 min read

Good morning everyone. Just reporting in ..... have been here since 9.30 a.m. but we are not starting until 11.30 a.m. Today should just be submissions on the law and from remarks made at the close yesterday it seems these will revolve around the issue of consent and whether ctd

a parent can give consent to treatment on behalf of a child.

We're back. Further discussions about the legal advice which the Chair will give to the other Panel members. Both parties' Counsel wish to comment on the draft legal advice which the Chair has already proffered to them. Back at 1.15 pm.

I've been wrong before about this but I really do think the hearing will finish today except for the delivery of the Judgment set to take place on 15th October.

Apparently the legal advice will be read out so those of us here will try and take a verbatim note.

Mr Stern QC and Mr Jackson QC have further addressed the Chairman in relation to the contents of his legal advice. The Chairman has now retired until 4 pm. He hopes to provide that advice after that.

The Chairman has given his legal advice. Again, I will have to draft a long thread about this. Chairman does not know how long it will take to reach a determination but I think unlikely anything will happen on 15th October after all. We will keep an eye on the website and advise.

I will post the closing submissions threads and the legal advice threads as soon as I can. In the meantime, thank you all for following this account with such commitment over these past months.

This is a summary of the closing submissions made by Mr Simon Jackson QC on behalf of the General Medical Council. This is not a verbatim record and should not be taken as such. I will post a similar summary of the closing submissions of Mr Ian Stern QC on behalf of Dr Webberly.

I will then post my summarised note of the legal advice which the Chairman Mr Angus Macpherson has provided to his fellow Panel members. This advice was the subject of detailed discussions with both parties' Counsel.

HW accepted that the standard by which breach of duty was to be assessed was the standard of a reasonably competent General Practitioner with a special interest in gender dysphoria. HW held herself out as a Gender Specialist and as an expert. This was the basis upon which HW
