Curtin crisis: judge hit by psychiatric condition

CIRCUIT Court Judge Brian Curtin is suffering from a psychiatric condition and is unable to instruct his solicitors, it emerged last night.

The latest surprise development throws the impending impeachment of Judge Curtin into confusion again just as the Cabinet was due to agree on a motion to put impeachment proceedings against him in train.

According to a letter received by the Government on Friday afternoon, the Judge is no longer able to instruct his legal team.
