Burke declines to participate in hearing and school says it is concerned what will happen when holidays end
The case came before Mr Justice O’Moore on Wednesday morning after another judge, Mr Justice Conor Dignam, had asked the parties last Friday to provide submissions concerning the possibility of releasing Mr Burke over the school holidays, which start on Wednesday.
Mr Burke said he considered what the judge had said was “extraordinary”. He said he sympathised with the judge on his sister’s death but he considered there was a “severe haste” to push through the hearing of the main action between him and the school. Mr Burke said his suspension is “manifestly unlawful” and the court orders reinforcing that are also unlawful. He believed the court and the school’s lawyers were working “hand in hand” in relation to the matter before the court.
