High Court refuses leave to seek judicial review of the failure of the Medical Counsel to enter an applicant onto the register of specialist medical practitioners, on the grounds that: (a) the Medical Counsel was not obliged to entertain the application where he relied on Spanish and Swedish certificates that had been obtained on foot of a certificate from Montserrat, a country where he had never worked or studied; and (b) the applicant had failed to show good faith in his ex parte application, in failing to disclose previous High Court and Supreme Court decisions concerning his registration.
Judicial review - application for leave - failure to recognise Spanish qualifications - failure to make decision within three months - application for specialist registration - previous application for judicial review refused by High Court and Supreme Court - previous application for general division of register of medical practitioners based on Swedish certificate - Swedish certificate based on certificate from Montserrat - never worked or studies in Montserrat - struck from register in Sweden - recognised as specialist doctor in Spain on basis of Swedish certificate - whether application bound to fail - whether abuse of process in failing to show good faith in ex parte application - failure to disclose factual background of application.
