Junior doctors take contract fight to high court Junior doctors in England are going to the High Court to try and stop the government imposing a new contract.
The group Justice for Health, which is mounting the legal challenge, says the contract is unsafe and unsustainable and it accuses Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt of acting outside his powers.
The Department says the case is without merit.
Ministers insist the new contract is needed to improve levels of medical cover in hospitals at weekends.
The hearing at the Royal Courts of Justice in London will run for two days. BBC News
