The mother of teacher Enoch Burke, who is currently in jail for refusing to abide by a High Court injunction, was removed from court today after she interrupted proceedings to say that “corrupt” judges had “denied their vow to uphold the Constitution”.

Mr Justice John Edwards at the Court of Appeal also directed that Enoch Burke’s sister, solicitor Ammi Burke, be referred to the Law Society after she refused to apologise for interrupting the proceedings despite the judge warning that he would hold in contempt anyone who committed a further interruption.
