One of the Chelmsford deep sleep therapy doctors, who lost his multimillion-dollar defamation lawsuit claiming he had been falsely maligned as grossly negligent, is continuing his court battle to clear his name.

Dr John Gill, a former GP, and ex-psychiatrist John Herron both worked at Chelmsford Hospital in Sydney in the 1970s, administering treatments blamed for the deaths of psychiatric patients.
