Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency:

I made a complaint to AHPRA regarding Dr. Paul Langton, his Conflict of Interest, his Duties to the Court. his reports and his testimony at trial in 2009. As there is an appeal pending I will not comment on the matter further until such time as the appeal is finalised!

However, I will give you some examples of the contradictory material available as to Dr. Paul Langton's testimony and his contact with his brother John Langton, the ICWA Case Manager responsible for my claim. It is important to note that Dr. Paul Langton was the only one of ICWA's own experts that was called for testimony by ICWA.

ICWA claimed legal privilege (which means the court never gets to see any such privileged report) over all of ICWA's other independent expert witnesses' reports.

• During Dr. Paul Langton's testimony, the doctor claimed that he had had no discussions or contact with his brother regarding my claim and that he had received ALL his instructions from ICWA's lawyers Talbot & Olivier.

• In his reply to Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA), Dr. Paul Langton however responded to my complaint to AHPRA that he had indeed had some contact with his brother John Langton in regards to my claim.

• According to ICWA's former CEO Mr. Vic Evans, however, ICWA reprimanded its Senior Case Manager John Langton, because John Langton had actually been the person who had "instructed" his brother Dr. Paul Langton as to the Doctor's report; “.... he was reprimanded and the issue was taken up (with him) and why he would even expose himself to any risk involved in instructing his brother about it and he is not to do it again and in fact if my memory serves me correctly, the case was taken off him”.

• ICWA's former CEO Mr. Vic Evans furthermore confirmed that in the past its Senior Case Manager had been involved in other inappropriate actions. But in the words of Mr. Vic Evans; “In relationship to John Langton, there is an awareness in this organization that how he irritates people and does the wrong things and that he takes things into his own little world sometimes and he has these lapses. But in this area (ICWA), you just can’t fire people and move them around like in private enterprise”.

• CWA's former CEO Mr. Vic Evans furthermore stated in relation to his Senior Case Manager John Langton that; "He could not sing his (John Langton's) praise, if he could he would" 

Although, all this information was available before going to trial, it was not discovered. "To discover" in the legal environment means to make documents and evidence available to the court and the other party.
