David Cullinane: I have attended some of the hearings where one has the borrower, the lender, legal teams and the Money Advice and Budgeting Service. Was there a High Court judgment on the role of the registrar?

Vote 22 - Courts Service (13 Jul 2017)

David Cullinane: It is my understanding there was. I know that in Waterford the registrar is no longer dealing with such cases. He defers all cases because the role of the registrar has been called into question. I think the High Court's judgment was that only a Circuit Court judge should adjudicate on these matters, not a registrar. Does anybody know if that is the case?
