Retired judge free to work as barrister

Retired judge Barry White can return to practise as a barrister, the High Court has found.

Mr Justice Max Barrett yesterday said Mr White, a former High and Central Criminal Court judge, is entitled to practise again without having to be a member of the Law Library.

That means a return to his specialised line of practice before the Circuit Court and beyond, the judge said. “This is an ambition he will now be able to fulfil,” he said.
