O v Nursing and Midwifery Council [2015] EWHC 2949 (Admin), [2015] All ER (D) 201 (Oct)

The appellant nurse appealed against the respondent Nursing and Midwifery Council’s (the NMC) finding that her fitness to practise was impaired and that she should be struck off the register. The Administrative Court held that the NMC’s decision had been defective and flawed, as it had recorded submissions in mitigation, but had not properly evaluated them. The matter would be remitted for consideration of the appropriate sanction.
