Bailey's defence team seeks more time to prepare case
Lawyers for journalist Ian Bailey have sought more time from the High Court in order to mount their case to contest a request by French authorities seeking his extradition in connection with the murder of French film producer Sophie Toscan du Planiter in Cork 13 years ago.
At a special sitting of the High Court last Saturday Mr Justice Michael Peart granted bail to Mr Bailey, of ‘The Pararie”, Toormore, Schull, Co Cork.
