Monica Shah Wins Appeal on Medical Licensing Revocation

On December 22, 2014, Monica Shah won an appeal in the Single Justice Session of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court for a physician who was challenging the revocation of his medical license due to alleged false answers on his renewal application. The Court ordered a remand to the Board of Registration in Medicine because the Board failed to sufficiently explain the reasons for its sanction and why it departed from the typical sanction granted in such circumstances. The physician was granted a new hearing on sanctions and mitigating circumstances.
