Solicitor Ammi Burke must be furnished with a transcript of the aborted hearing of her failed action against the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) before the court decides who should pay the parties’ legal costs.

Ms Justice Marguerite Bolger directed the WRC and notice party Arthur Cox — from which Ms Burke was dismissed in late 2019 — to ensure a transcript is emailed to her this week to consider ahead of the resumed costs hearing in October.
