Finucane widow wins legal battle over Cory Report

The widow of murdered solicitor Pat Finucane has secured leave to seek a judicial review of the British government’s refusal to publish the Cory Report into his murder.

A lawyer for Geraldine Finucane told the High Court in Belfast that the failure to publish the report had undermined public confidence in the rule of law and had compounded the distress of the Finucane family.
