HTML VERSION OF JUDGMENT
____________________

MR JUSTICE GOSS: This is an application for extension of an interim order imposed on the respondent suspending her from registration as a nurse.

I am satisfied, having read the papers and the skeleton argument of Miss Fleck in this case, and applying the principles set out in General Medical Council v Hiew [2007] EWCA Civ 369, that this is an appropriate case to extend the interim order.

I am also satisfied that the appropriate period is an extension for 8 months, the original application being for 12 months but now being amended to 8 months as a more appropriate extended period. There is no evidence that she is being prevented from pursuing her career of choice or being caused financial or other hardship.

I shall therefore make this order so that it is ordered that the interim order be extended to 4pm on 17 July 2015. The respondent has permission on giving 3 days' written notice to the applicant to apply to the court to vary or discharge this order, and there be no order as to costs.
