Solicitor Ammi Burke has been ordered to pay most of the legal costs incurred by the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) and her former employer in successfully defending against her challenge to a rejection of her unfair dismissal claim.

Ms Justice Marguerite Bolger said the court “can and should mark its disapproval of how the applicant chose to conduct herself during the proceedings”.
