Bailey legal team given two weeks to prepare case

The High Court gave Ian Bailey’s legal team two weeks “to get its house in order” today, stating it did not want the case “to drift off into Never Never land”.

Mr Justice Michael Peart, sitting at Court 21 of the Criminal Courts of Justice in Dublin’s Parkgate Street, said there was “no doubt” there were “unusual aspects” to the case but added that “a lot of time has passed” and he was “anxious” a date be fixed for the hearing of the matter next month.
