Until 2003, when his third term of office expired, Dr Baird (Auckland gynaecologist until recently working at National Womens Hospital and in private practice) was president of the Medical Council of New Zealand. Undeniably the driver-in-chief of the Wislang case, by the end of his 9-year presidency Dr Baird had earned for his Council the description of "A vintage car club that wants to write its own road code". We have no reliable information on the make or year of motor vehicle driven by Dr Baird at any time.
