Lawyers are right to be concerned.

The standard of proof under the Fitness to Practise panels of the General Medical Council used to be that of the Criminal Law.

Despite opposition from doctors, it was - disgracefully - changed a year or two back, and the current MPTS uses the civil standard.

I'm not quite sure that it achieves the 98% conviction rate of the SRA despite that!
