The ME Assoc and interested parties would do well to read this judgement carefully and consider its contents. Mr Justice Simon was fair and logical in his judgement. As I said on an earlier post, such legal reviews aren't about moral justice or rights and wrongs in that sense. They are about laws, regulations and process. NICE followed the process. The reality that the outcome of this process is crap advice to GPs which doesn't help ME or other CFS sufferers wasn't relevant to this review. The claimants chose the wrong argument to go into bat on, and they got personal. Two big mistakes. Sadly this claim hasn't progressed the cause of ME/CFS sufferers.
