‘In Hussain v GMC Lord Justice Longmore suggested the objective test for dishonesty in disciplinary proceedings should reflect the standards of members of the profession rather than the general public. That suggestion was taken up with varying degrees of enthusiasm by disciplinary panels, legal advisers and the courts. Andrew Granville Stafford argues that the recent Court of Appeal case of R v Hayes has effectively ended any need to apply the Longmore formulation.’
