The State is objecting to a bid by Gerry “The Monk” Hutch to be awarded his estimated €400,000 legal costs.
Sean Gillane SC for the prosecution, said the application by Hutch, 60, who was acquitted last month of the murder of David Byrne in Dublin’s Regency Hotel, is being opposed.
However the Special Criminal Court heard that neither the defence nor the prosecution were in a position to deal with the matter yesterday. Ms Justice Tara Burns therefore put it back to Friday.
