The Joint Committee of Primary Care Trusts' urgent appeal in response to the Judicial Review by the Royal Brompton and Harefield NHS Foundation Trust will be heard by the Court of Appeal.
The Court of Appeal has granted the Joint Committee of Primary Care Trusts the appeal as there are “arguable issues raised by the applicant and the outcome of the appeal is of public importance”. The Royal Brompton and Harefield NHS Foundation Trust has cross appealed. To allow sufficient time for the appeals to be heard the appeal will no longer take place on 16th or 17th January. The Court of Appeal Judge has ordered that the appeals should take place as soon as possible and at the latest by 4th April.
