Solicitor denies intimidating law student who claims she worked for him and is yet to be paid

The student claims an alleged malicious campaign of intimidation and harassment is "designed to pressure me into withdrawing my WRC claim against him".

Mr Justice O'Moore adjourned the case and added that he hoped to be in a position to fix a hearing date when the matter returns before the court. File picture
