See also ‘criminal law’ and ‘other matters’. Also note, in two of these matters the recording was made by a healthcare professional who had been de-registered because of a finding of professional misconduct and was required to submit to examination by a psychiatrist: it was these examinations that were recorded rather than the events that led to the misconduct finding (see Bahramy v Medical Council (NSW) [2015] NSWCA 384 and Bahramy v Medical Council (NSW) [2017] NSWCATOD 146.
Two of these matters involved a criminal charge against a GP for sexual assault of their patient: R v El-Kheir [2018] NSWDC 245; R v Sudusinghe [2020] QCA 74.
One of these matters was in administrative law but related to a complaint against a medical professional for a failed surgical procedure: Mohareb v Health Care Complaints Commission [2023] NSWSC 1224.
