Last May, as the court and lawyers strained to be heard over Ms Burke’s loud chanting, the judge dismissed her challenge to the WRC’s rejection of her claim of unfair dismissal from Arthur Cox.
Ms Burke, of Castlebar, Co Mayo, incessantly accused the judge of “litigating the case of Arthur Cox and the WRC”. In her judgment on Monday, Ms Justice Bolger said the hearing last May was “descending into chaos due to the applicant’s extraordinary behaviour”. There was “no justification” for Ms Burke’s behaviour, which came against the backdrop of an “escalating pattern” of her refusals to accept earlier decisions of the court.
Throughout the hearing the judge had to leave the courtroom due to Ms Burke speaking loudly over her and other lawyers “in spite of frequent requests to her not to do so”. There was also a pattern of refusing to accept the court’s decisions, the judge added.
