High Court hears plea to give Supt Dave Taylor 90 per cent of his costs despite adverse findings against him
on Thursday to hear submissions on costs, said he would post his decision on the tribunal website.
Mr O’Higgins said Mr Taylor’s participation in the tribunal involved a very significant commitment from him and public examination of him in which, it had to be acknowledge, was significantly found to be wanting.It must be accepted there are negative findings against him but counsel said there were a number of factors to be considered when taking into account his co-operation.
He had also released journalists who gave evidence from their claim of journalistic privilege involving him. He was always willing to be a witness unlike many journalists who did not come forward, counsel said. Mr Rogers said while the tribunal was not satisfied this conversation ever took place, this fell far short of making any finding of having made a false statement. The tribunal, in considering costs, was undertaking a balancing act which should be done with very real caution.
