Court considering order that would mean part of teacher’s salary being used to pay court fines he is refusing to pay
case continued on Friday with yet another High Court ruling aimed at the History and German teacher who refuses to obey court orders.
The attempt to dismiss Burke is bogged down in legal disputes and he continues to refuse to comply with a court order that he stay away from the school. Jailing him didn’t work and when jail was replaced by fines, he refused to pay. At the heart of the controversy is what the courts should do when the target of an order in a civil case refuses to comply. There is the obvious potential to bring the law into disrepute, but the State is understandably reluctant to leave someone languishing in jail for an indeterminate amount of time, not least when they have not been found guilty of a criminal offence.
