Selvarajan v GMC

Held

(1) There was no reason in logic, policy or common sense why any delay, particularly unreasonable delay on the part of the prosecutor, was not capable of mitigating penalty. That was one of the ways in which a breach of ECHR Article 6 rights to trial within a reasonable time could be remedied otherwise than by a stay.

(2) However the conduct here was so serious that a suspension would be a manifestly inadequate sanction. The penalty of erasure was upheld.
