Shashikanth (claimant/appellant) v NHS Litigation Authority & anr (defendants/respondents)
Tuesday 19 – Wednesday 20 November 2024
By Appellant’s Notice filed on 30 November 2022, the Claimant appeals the order made by Bourne J, sitting in the Administrative Court, dated 11 October 2022 by which he permitted the Claimant to amend his claim but dismissed his judicial review claim and ordered costs in favour of the Respondent.
The Applicant is a GP. He sought to challenge the decision of the Second Respondent to terminate the contracts under which he operates two practices, and the decision of the first Respondent acting as contractual adjudicator under a dispute resolution process. Bourne J. found that the decisions were not amenable to judicial review. He therefore dismissed the claim notwithstanding his finding that “the conclusion is inescapable that the adjudicator’s decision was based on an error of law”.
