MN (claimant/respondent) v NHS Foundation Trust L (defendant/appellant)
Wednesday 17 December 2025
By Appellant’s Notice filed on 21 August 2025, the Defendant NHS Trust appeals against the orders made by Sheldon 7 on 31 July 2025 and 14 August 2025.
The NHS Trust appeals against the judgment of Mr Justice Sheldon dated 31 July 2025 and the associated costs order dated 14 August 2025. The judgment declared that clause 1.6 of the Trust’s E27 policy, aligned with the national MHPS framework, was incorporated into the Claimant’s employment contract and imposed a binding obligation that only the Medical Director may act as Case Manager in investigations involving consultants. The judge held that delegation of this role was impermissible. The costs order awarded the Claimant his full costs despite partial success.
