former nurse who has been ‘litigating or attempting to litigate’ for two decades has been restricted from bringing civil proceedings unless given permission by the High Court after being found to have a ‘persistent desire to relitigate issues without any prospect of achieving any alternative outcome’.

Lord Justice Dove and Mrs Justice Thornton made a civil proceedings order against Alvida Harrold, who was previously employed by North Bristol NHS Trust before her dismissal in 2005. She was struck off by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NWC) in 2009.
