The High Court judge gave a provisional view that the WRC and Arthur Cox are entitled to their legal costs but said he will receive submissions if any party contends otherwise

The High Court was “justified” in dismissing solicitor Ammi Burke’s case against the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) mid-hearing, the Court of Appeal has ruled.

In a judgment for the court, Mr Justice Seamus Noonan said he listened to an audio recording of the High Court hearing and concluded Ms Burke’s behaviour was “utterly appalling and egregious”.
