A High Court judge quashed the finding of professional misconduct against

Professor -, who had carried out some of the tests for the

controversial paper that suggested a link between the MMR vaccine and

autism.

Mr Justice Mitting also called for the reform of the General Medical

Council's disciplinary hearings after the lengthy battle by Professor

- to clear his name.

The Wakefield paper prompted a nationwide scare over the safety of the

jab after the study of 12 children was published in the medical journal

The Lancet.

Both Dr Wakefield and Professor - were found guilty of

professional misconduct over the way the research was conducted and were

struck off the medical register in May 2010.

The GMC panel's verdict followed 217 days of deliberation, making it the

longest disciplinary case in the GMC's 152-year history. In 2004, the

Lancet announced a partial retraction, and 10 of the 13 authors disowned

it.
