Dr. Richard Warwick Gorringe, MB, ChB, of Hamilton, New Zealand, was found guilty of "Professional Misconduct" and "Disgraceful Conduct" in 2003, [cite news|url=http://www.nzherald.co.nz/section/1/print.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=3518312|title=Prayer doctor vows to carry on 'healing'|date=August 16, 2003|author=Elizabeth Binning|publisher=NZ Herald] by the Medical Practitioners Disciplinary Tribunal of New Zealand in Wellington, which drew upon expert witnesses to consider the application of complementary and alternative medicine.

Gorringe was stripped of his license to practice medicine and fined NZ$104,096 in the ruling.

Gorringe was subsequently found guilty of malpractice in the death of an earlier patient in a 2004 ruling of the Medical Practitioners Disciplinary Tribunal in Auckland, which concluded that Gorringe's reliance on BDORT to the exclusion of conventional diagnoses led to the patient's death.
