Solicitor Ammi Burke’s challenge to the rejection of her claim of unfair dismissal from law firm Arthur Cox has been thrown out after she persisted in loudly reciting objections while other lawyers were attempting to speak.
Ms Justice Marguerite Bolger granted an application from the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) and Arthur Cox to dismiss the case in its entirety due to Ms Burke’s conduct, which was “undoubtedly an abuse of process”.
The Judge said she would give a written ruling explaining her decision at a later stage, but she gave an indicative view that the WRC and Arthur Cox are entitled to their full legal costs.
