<p>A doctor accused of failing to spot that Baby P had a broken back days before his death has won a crucial High Court battle in her bid to avoid a disciplinary hearing.</p>
<p>A judge granted consultant paediatrician Dr Sabah Al-Zayyat a new opportunity to apply for &#8220;voluntary erasure&#8221; from the medical register on health grounds. If she is successful, she would not have to appear at any disciplinary hearing.</p>
<p>The General Medical Council (GMC) says granting the 54-year-old doctor&#8217;s request would mean derailing the high-profile public misconduct investigation into her care of Baby P, which is already under way.</p>
<p>But Mr Justice Mitting, sitting in London, ruled that a decision of a GMC fitness to practise panel to reject her request for erasure was &#8220;perverse&#8221; and must be quashed.</p>
<p>The judge ruled there was &#8220;no sufficient evidential basis&#8221; for the panel&#8217;s decision and ordered that her case be reconsidered by a fresh panel.</p>
