R (on the application of Puri) v Bradford Teaching Hospital NHS Trust [2011] IRLR 582 HC (0 other reports)
The High Court in this case distinguished the circumstances from those in R (on the application of G) v Governors of X School and Y City Council [2010] IRLR 222 CA, in which the Court of Appeal held that a teacher had the right to be accompanied by a lawyer. In this case, the European Convention on Human Rights was not engaged in internal disciplinary proceedings where the employee was not, as a result, deprived of the right to practise his profession. The Supreme Court has in any event overturned its decision on legal representation at disciplinary hearings in R (on the application of G) v Governors of X School and Y City Council [2011] IRLR 756 SC.
