The jury in Ian Bailey’s civil action for damages over the conduct of the Garda inquiry into the murder of Sophie Toscan du Plantier are due back in court tomorrow after legal issues in the case are addressed.

Closing speeches due in Bailey case

The case opened last November and evidence concluded earlier this month after 59 days. Evidence was heard from 90 witnesses, of whom about 70 were called by the State. The case was then adjourned for a week due to jurors’ commitments.

It resumed on its 60th day yesterday when the jury was told by Mr Justice John Hedigan it had not proved possible to resolve a range of legal issues between the sides.
