Fertility chief may sue?

Sir William Stubbs is not the only representative of the great and the good to take action following dismissal. Dr Maureen Dalziel, chief executive of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA), dismissed after a vote of no confidence of the HFEA board, is reported to be considering legal action. She had been in post for eighteen months, joining at a time when its activities were bedeviled by a dodgy new computer system, several high-profile IVF errors and a low budget.
