Today, the tribunal read its determination in private. They found an allegation (item 10 of Schedule 2) that Dr Adrian Harrop (AH) hadn't admitted re offensive &/or insulting &/or inappropriate tweets proved.

They found allegations re intention to intimidate & dox not proved.>>
I can't find Schedule 2 so have asked MPTS for a copy and will add it to this thread tomorrow if we receive it.

Here is updated Hearing Information Sheet which is easier to read than the paper photos posted earlier docs.google.com/document/d/17f… >>
The public were invited in after midday.

In a few minutes, the Chair read through the allegation numbers found proved & not proved too fast to live report. They are set out in the document above. >>
This afternoon, we tweeted the determination which was redacted to remove "private matters."

Here is the determination document which is easier to read. >>

Tomorrow at 9.30am, Stage 2 starts so the tribunal can decide whether AH's fitness to practice is impaired.

@gmcuk and AH's counsel will present submissions and may call witnesses. >>
Stage 2 the impairment stage evidence may take a couple of days. Then the tribunal retire to deliberate in private.

So Stage 3, consideration of the sanctions, with evidence and witnesses will take place next week.

We expect a decision on sanctions by the end of next week. >>

@StoatlyL A reminder - today's hearing is Stage 2 on Impairment with submissions & evidence on whether Dr Adrian Harrop's fitness to practise is impaired due to the allegations found proved at the facts stage, the decison we reported yesterday in this and the other thread. >>
@StoatlyL Next week, the Medical Practitioners' Tribunal (MPT) will be hearing evidence on Stage 3 Sanctions.

Please note that the MPT’s decision is not intended to be punitive, but it may have a punitive effect.

The main reason for imposing sanctions is to protect the public.... >>
@StoatlyL ... reasons for imposing sanctions is to protect the
public:
- protecting, promoting & maintaining the health, safety and wellbeing of the public
 maintaining public confidence in the profession
 promoting and maintaining doctors' proper professional standards & conduct.//
@StoatlyL To clarify yesterday's reporting, Dr Adrian Harrop had already admitted to doxing - sharing info on real names &/or locations for A & B & tweeted abt visiting a Golf Club located in the same area where E lives and that he intended to intimidate A. >>
@StoatlyL In their finding of facts yesterday, the tribunal found allegations that AH intended to reveal more info on B’s work and location not proved.

@StoatlyL Initimidation: The Trib found allegations that he intended to intimidate B, D & E & the campaign of cyber bullying against E were not proved by @gmcuk

Dr Adrian Harrop already admitted that he intended to intimidate A. See detail in the docs posted above.//

Good morning from Manchester. The tribunal will today consider if Dr Harrop’s fitness to practice is impaired. We expect to start at 9.30am.
Reminder; Dr Harrop’s representative is Mr Giles Powell (GP) and the GMC representative is Mr Ryan Donoghue (RD).
Chair has asked if the Harrop’s team wish to call a witness. GP has said it is up to the GMC if they wish to question the witness. The witness seems to be a female doctor.

We're back.
Chair: the tribunal now needs to go and make a decision privately. At that point we need to distill that I to a document and that takes time. We'll then go to a process with a committee and how we arrived at that. The earliest day is midday on Wednesday.
It's likely that day will move and if you'll be so kind to provide contacts if we think it's Thurs or Fri we will inform you.
GP: is there a possibility of it being earlier
Chairman: no
Chair: of you cantget here maybe you can be here by other means. We will make sure sufficient time to arrive. We're not going to tell you to be here immediately.
GP: clarifies again won't be earlier
Chair says no and thanks to everyone.

We are back.
Chair welcomes back.
RD discussing submissions.
Chair says the guidance documents weren't contained within it, they're publucally available, rarely placed into a bundle. Other point to article 6, missing tweets, not determinative in this case
RD: ....evidence could be obtained and rare to stop because of missing evidence overlaps with article 6. Gmc say can make this decision fairly
Chair: if we don't have that context then the burden rests with GMC
RD: there the only points I'd like to raise
GP: hope its convenient to structure submissions as follows. Starting to ref paragraph 3. Hope helpful I've summarised
