Other supporters
- Brian Morgan -
Investigative journalist who has been working to highlight the injustices suffered by families wrongly accused of child abuse
since 1991, particularly the way the secrecy of the family courts has allowed unreliable and unscientific medical evidence
from a very small group of paediatricians and psychiatrists to be relied upon by another very small group of judges.
He has also been falsely accused, and cleared of conspiracy involving one case he was investigating, as a result
of information provided to the police by Professor David Southall, who tried and failed to prevent his involvement
being exposed in open court, under the cloak of Public Interest Immunity.
Southall also successfully prevented secret information about the Special Case files being handed over to the General
Medical Council in 1996, leading to a delay of ten years before the current GMC hearings in part dealing with these
secret files could go ahead.
Southall's North Staffs NHS Trust backed his legal action to prevent disclosure.
This struggle cost Brian Morgan's union, the NUJ, £50,000.
