BMA chairman Dr Hamish Meldrum said he was disapointed the High Court did not agree with the BMA’s view.
'We felt it necessary to pursue this case on behalf of the thousands of retired doctors who have given years of service to the NHS and felt let down by the changes to the ARF by the GMC,’ said Dr Meldrum.
'The BMA will consider the details of this judgement and has not ruled out the possibility of an appeal.’
