Judge directed that the disciplinary hearing should progress as soon as possible
The court heard the complaint against Ms Hennigan arose out of an exchange of texts between her and another adjudicator saying he would “appreciate anything you can do” for a named student in a competition she was judging.
A preliminary investigation into the complaints by retired appeal court judge, Mr Justice Michael Peart, found that “broadly speaking” the allegations were that “a number” of individuals had sought to have their pupils receive favourable treatment by the adjudicator who was the identified recipient of these messages, in exchange for favours, including sexual favours.
She brought High Court proceedings seeking, among other things, an injunction stopping the suspension and the disciplinary process on grounds it was irredeemably prejudiced by certain CLRG public statements which she claimed “bordered on the hysterical” and predetermined that what happened was gross misconduct.On Friday, Ms Justice Roberts found Ms Hennigan had established a strong case that she was not afforded natural justice in relation to her suspension.
