Minister to reconsider ex-judge’s application
The three-judge court dismissed an appeal by the minister against a High Court decision that he could resume practice, but said the question of his entitlement to be placed on the legal aid list for barristers “remains to be further considered and decided by the minister”.
Ms Justice Mary Finlay Geoghegan, on behalf of the appeals court, allowed the minister’s appeal in relation to declarations from the High Court that the refusal had been unreasonable and an interference with his constitutional right to earn a livelihood.
