Psychiatrist’s four-year legal drama over diagnosis ends
The doctor's care was scrutinised in multiple HCCC and court proceedings after he diagnosed a man with delusional disorder in his role as a medical expert for an Australian Human Rights Commission case
A psychiatrist was dragged through the legal wringer for more than four years after a lawyer he diagnosed with a delusional disorder took exception to the diagnosis, court documents reveal.
In a decision handed down last week, the Court of Appeal Supreme Court NSW found the complaint against the doctor, which dates back to August 2016, never warranted further investigation.
