Abstract
[Extract] On 24 August 2012, Dr Jayant Patel walked out of a Queensland prison a free man, after the High Court of Australia found a miscarriage of justice had occurred in his trial for the murder or grievous bodily harm of four of his patients. Prior to his imprisonment, Dr Patel had served as a doctor for the state government health department, Queensland Health. Whistle-blower complaints made against him by Queensland Health nurses had spawned enquiries into his workplace practices, which ended in the criminal charges being laid.
