Teacher Enoch Burke wants court injunctions halting a school’s disciplinary process against him over an alleged breach of his rights to freedom of conscience, freedom of expression and freedom of religious belief.

In a counterclaim put before the High Court on Monday, he wants injunctions restraining the board of management of Wilson’s Hospital School in Co. Westmeath from conducting the process pending the hearing of his case that the process is unconstitutional.
