The judge said that she asked Burke to 'ensure that members of her family did not speak on her behalf'.

A HIGH COURT judge has issued a written statement saying that she dismissed the unfair dismissal claim of solicitor Ammi Burke because her behaviour in court was “extraordinarily unusual and unprecedented” and there were repeated interruptions from her family.

She claimed she had an unblemished record during her time at the law firm until she was dismissed without notice in 2019. It was also stated that Burke “made baseless claims” against the judge and alleged that she had been “sharing in laughter” with Arthur Cox’s representatives. “I told the applicant that her conduct was appalling and that I was horrified that anyone, in particular a qualified solicitor, would conduct themselves in that manner before the court.”
