Parents win legal battle to name doctor who accused them of child abuse...

A couple cleared of injuring their baby son have won a legal battle to identify the doctor who gave evidence against them.

When Victoria and Jake Ward saw their baby son crying and refusing to feed, they took him to their doctor. When the cause of his pain could not be found, they took him back twice more.

The professional couple were shocked to be told eventually that William had a broken leg. But the drama turned into a nightmare when they were accused of having deliberately harmed their little boy.

(...)

Only now, three years later, have the Wards managed to draw a line under the affair by forcing the name of the key expert witness to be made public. 

He was Karl Johnson, an eminent radiologist who specialises in non-accidental injuries and has acted a police witness in several cases of child abuse.

(...)

The outcome of the case, in a landmark High Court judgement, has helped to lift the secrecy surrounding England's family courts, where campaigners claim that a lack of openness creates an environment in which miscarriages of justice can go unnoticed. Full story...
