The General Medical Council (Legal Assessors) Rules 1980 regulate the functions of legal assessors appointed by the General Medical Council to advise the Professional Conduct Committee, the Assessment Referral Committee, the Committee on Professional Performance, the Health Committee and the Preliminary Proceedings Committee on questions of law arising in proceedings before them.
The Medical Act 1983 (Amendment) Order 2000 has created a new Committee, the Interim Orders Committee. These Rules provide for the 1980 Rules to apply to the new Committee in the same way as they apply to the existing Committees.
