A woman who was convicted at the High Court in May 2013 of practising dentistry and unlawfully carrying on the business of dentistry – namely tooth whitening - when not registered with the GDC, has been refused permission to apply for judicial review in relation to her failed attempt to challenge the High Court’s decision. She was also ordered to pay £1500 towards the GDC’s costs.
The case involving Lorna Jamous was heard by the Administrative Division of the High Court. Ms Jamous, who was present but unrepresented, was refused permission to seek judicial review of an earlier decision made at Southwark Crown Court to reject her attempted challenge of the May 2013 ruling.
- On 10 May 2013 the High Court overturned a magistrates’ court’s decision to acquit her of both offences and convicted her of them.
- On 16 September 2013 she was sentenced at Westminster Magistrates’ Court to a conditional discharge for 12 months and ordered to pay £350 costs.
- In August 2014 she attempted to appeal the decision of the High Court through an application to the Crown Court – this was unsuccessful.
- Ms Jamous then attempted to challenge the Crown Court’s refusal of her application by seeking permission for Judicial Review in the High Court.
This application has now been refused.
