Further talks after the strikes resulted in an agreement to be put to a referendum. In the July referendum, 58% of BMA members rejected the offer. Following this, Johann Malawana resigned and Hunt rejected holding any further talks with the BMA and announced the imposition of the new contract on junior doctors starting from October. In the lead up to his imposition of the contract, Hunt stated publicly and in Parliament his intention and power to do so. This matter was challenged in the High Court by a group of doctors, "Justice for Health". Hunt won the case.
