In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy welcomes back Arnold Thomas & Becker principal solicitor and head of medical negligence Emily Hart to discuss how busy it has been for medical negligence lawyers in 2026 thus far, proceedings being brought against a former gynaecologist in Melbourne for alleged professional misconduct, the complaints being lodged with Hart's firm about that individual, the difference between a regulatory tribunal referral and a civil claim, if anything prevents concurrent proceedings, whether one proceeding could or would adversely impact the other, why individual claims can be preferable to a class action, how seriously regulators are treating tribunal referrals right now, and what the implications are for medical negligence lawyers moving forward.
