Curtin legal team to launch court challenge

THE all-party committee investigating the behaviour of Judge Brian Curtin may face a new court challenge from the judge’s legal team.

Curtin legal team to launch court challenge

The committee formally informed Judge Curtin’s lawyers yesterday it intends to begin hearing evidence next Monday in relation to claims that the judge had images of child pornography on his home computer.

In so doing, the committee rejected a request for an adjournment of six weeks to allow the judge’s legal team prepare its case. As reported in the Irish Examiner, the committee last week decided to grant an adjournment of one week but refused to allow the judge’s legal team additional time.
