Disciplinary Procedures in the Statutory Professions

Description

Winner of the Irish Law Awards Book of the Year 2023

Various disciplinary and regulatory bodies have different rules, powers and procedures, even while sharing a basic legal framework. This book allows a legal practitioner who is appearing before such a body to prepare their case by setting out what powers the body has, what evidence it can hear, the form the procedure will take, whether they can call witnesses, and what sanctions it can impose.

This book is the first title to consider the specific question of the regulation of statutory professions in Ireland including architects, surveyors, teachers, pharmacists, health and social care professionals and accountants.

Part I deals with general principles and practice, covering such areas as complaints, fair procedures and sanctions.
Part II examines each of the relevant professions in turn.

Covers the following developments, legislation and case law:

The difference of between professional misconduct conduct and poor professional performance
Teaching Council (Amendment) Act 2015
Healthcare (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2017
Regulated Professions (Health and Social Care) (Amendment) Act 2020
Corbally v Medical Council & Others
Medical Council v Lohan-Mannion
Doocey v Law Society
TM v Medical Council

This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Irish Employment Law online service.
