A disgraced doctor who killed a British man due to an appalling blunder over his painkillers is suing the dead man's son in Germany because he missed a post-conference dinner.
Rory Gray and his brother Stuart disrupted a speech he was giving at a conference on plastic surgery in the German town of Lindau in 2010, calling him a 'charlatan and killer'.
Both men were arrested but later released.
Dr Daniel Ubani is demanding 2,800 euros - plus legal and court costs - from Rory Gray who lives in Germany.
Ubani, who lives in the former western German industrial town of Witten, came to the UK in 2008 as a locum because he wanted extra money.
He was working for an out-of-hours medical service when he gave 70-year-old David Gray a fatal injection in Cambridgeshire.
Ubani confused the amount of painkiller he should give renal patient Mr Gray; in the end he gave him ten times the dosage of diamorphine he should have done.
Mr Gray died within minutes at his home in Manea, Cambridgeshire, on 16 February 2008.
Coroner William Morris later ruled his death 'gross negligence and manslaughter' and issued 11 recommendations to the Department of Health for the improvement of out-of-hours GP services
An arrest warrant was issued in the UK for Ubani to be extradited to stand trial.
