Women are at the centre of several important cases in the higher courts this year
and former Rehab chief executive Angela Kerins, are at the centre of several important cases and judgments in the higher courts as the new law term kicks off in January.is expected to give a key judgment during this term setting the standard of care for cervical cancer screening, with implications for the work of the Cervical Check tribunal and many cervical cancer cases.
The judgment was given after the DPP had appealed to the Supreme Court against a Court of Appeal decision reducing to a total eight-and-a-half years prison time the sentences imposed on the man for rape of his wife, threats to kill her and a hammer attack on her. The High Court ruled on St Stephen’s Day 2014 that the treatment could be ended on the basis that the only prospect for the unborn was “distress and death” and Ms Perie was entitled to dignity in death.
Four Opposition TDs want permission to expand their legal action to argue that a process under which the Ceann Comhairle decides whether or not a Bill requires a “money message” may be unconstitutional. The Ceann Comhairle has indicated he will oppose any such expansion, and the other parties are expected to take a similar stance.Back in the Supreme Court, the State, Garda and DPP will be anxiously awaiting the court’s judgment on the State’s appeal against an important ruling in a case by convicted murderer Graham Dwyer over use of his mobile phone data in his trial.
Dwyer, who denies killing Ms O’Hara, had claimed data gathered from his phone, under the Communications Act 2011, should not have been used at his 2015 criminal trial as that breached his rights, including to privacy.
