School’s legal costs could exceed €500,000 after dispute finally goes to trial in High Court

One charged after Enoch Burke loses appeal against Wilson’s Hospital School amid chaotic courtroom scenes

The full trial of the dispute between him and the school, which raises issues including the conduct of the disciplinary process and Burke’s constitutional rights, has yet to get a hearing date in the High Court. The judge has listed the trial for four days. While noting Burke had said he believed it would take two days, the judge said, “given the dogged nature of every application so far in this action”, insofar as he knew of them, and the potential range of issues in the case, the two-day estimate was “unrealistically optimistic”.

Prior to that judgment, Burke had told the High Court, once the appeal court had ruled, he wanted the “earliest possible” date for the trial of the main action. He said his counterclaim to the school’s case sought orders that concerned the legality of his dismissal. Separately, Burke could ask the Supreme Court to hear a further appeal against the Court of Appeal’s judgment this week rejecting his bid to overturn the injunctions. If he pursues that option, a panel of Supreme Court judges would determine whether his case meets the criteria for such an appeal. The judges must be satisfied the decision at issue involves a matter of general public importance or that an appeal is necessary in the interests of justice.

The media has tried to convince us that Banshees are our friends. The Burke family have popped that balloon too with a bottle of common sense. May the Banshees of diminished hearing in the media suffer the same fate as that movie that was also outed to be full of hype.

First posted 9th March and at least seven times since. Why?

Wilson's management is obviously unfit for purpose. Only winners here are Wilson's lawyers and liars.

Says more about the farcical costs/price gouging by the legal profession than anything else.

They look like they're having a camera-conscious staged discussion lined up so nobody has their back to the cameras. 'Last Supper' feel to it too...

The Burke’s are only getting warmed up.

Those legal costs are an interesting topic too.

The arguments of the Wilson's Hospital School/respondent are beyond laughable. They refer to an ECHR case in which the court 'reasoned that since manifestation of religious beliefs might impact upon other, article 9(2) allowed these [religious beliefs & manifestation] to be…

Im sure their US sponsors will chip in

he who represents himself has a fool for a client

I really doubt he cares. Taxpayer going to be on the hook for this farce. Parents should have to go guarantor for any further costs

What are Burke's costs and who is paying?

Rodgers does not work cheap

Then,They will drain the school of money, sax the principle, then Burke will take over, the school will drop it's case and tax payers will still have to pay the bill.

I presume mother is in charge 😡

That’s an expensive pronoun.

How can the Burkes afford all these court fights? Somebody must be funding them
