Adjournment Matter. - Morris Tribunal.

 

There are two recent High Court judgments on the question of the timing of payments for legal representation before the Morris tribunal. Superintendent Lennon sought a declaration that he was entitled to have funding on an ongoing or week by week basis for his legal representatives at hearings before the tribunal. The High Court in a judgment delivered on 2 May 2003 found that he had no such entitlement. I understand Mr. McBrearty also applied to the High Court to have his legal costs arising from the tribunal paid on an ongoing basis and that the High Court in a judgment delivered on 13 May 2003 rejected that application.
