Dr Hershel Goldman is seeking a stay of conditions preventing him from carrying out circumcisions, imposed by the Medical Board of Australia last month.

The Melbourne GP has appealed the restrictions before the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal, which heard the matter last week but is yet to publish its decision.
