Dr. Neill Charles Garrard, a locum registrar, is facing renewed allegations of sexual misconduct after a High Court judge quashed a previous tribunal's ruling that found accusations unproven. Two women claimed Garrard used "hypnosis-style chanting" during examinations, making inappropriate remarks and urging them to undress. The initial tribunal dismissed the charges due to perceived discrepancies in the testimonies. However, the High Court's judgement indicated that the tribunal misapplied the law regarding the admissibility of evidence, necessitating a second hearing to reassess the evidence presented.
The tribunal found "very substantial differences" between the two cases, which contributed to their dismissal, but the High Court overturned this ruling.
Dr. Garrard has been accused of employing a 'hypnosis-style chanting' technique inappropriately while treating vulnerable female patients.
