The full hearing of the ongoing dispute between Enoch Burke and Wilson's Hospital School, where he used to work, over disciplinary proceedings resulting in his suspension will proceed before the High Court next week
THE FULL HEARING of the ongoing dispute between Enoch Burke and Wilson’s Hospital School over disciplinary proceedings resulting in his suspension from work will proceed before the High Court next week.
His continued refusal to comply with those orders resulted in him being found in contempt of court and his incarceration for 108 days. Burke denies any wrongdoing, says that his suspension arises out of his opposition to “transgenderism” and a direction by the school to refer to a student who wishes to be addressed by a different name and pronouns.In a counterclaim he says that the disciplinary process against him should be set aside and that it breaches his constitutional rights including his right to freedom of expression of his religious beliefs.
The matter was briefly mentioned before the call over of cases due to be heard by the High Court next week before Ms Justice Siobhan Stack today, who was told the case is ready to proceed next week.
