'The court is horrified' - High Court dismisses Ammi Burke's case due to her conduct

The judge said she would give a written ruling explaining her decision later, but she gave an indicative view that the WRC and Arthur Cox were entitled to their full legal costs

Solicitor Ammi Burke’s challenge to the rejection of her claim of unfair dismissal from law firm Arthur Cox has been dismissed at the High Court.

It follows her refusal to cease reciting her objections while other lawyers were attempting to speak. Ms Justice Marguerite Bolger granted an application from the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) and Arthur Cox to dismiss the case in its entirety due to Ms Burke’s conduct, which was “undoubtedly an abuse of process”.
