Enoch Burke will find out later today if his appeal against court orders, including an injunction to stay away from his former school, has been successful.

Among the arguments he put forward is his claim that the legal test required to make such an order wasn’t properly applied.

As of January 27th, Enoch Burke has been hit with daily fines of €700 for every day he refuses to purge his contempt of an order to stay away from Wilson’s Hospital School.

Earlier this year, he was dismissed from the school for gross misconduct.

Mr Burke claims the orders are invalid and, in his appeal, he criticised the decisions of two High Court judges that led to him being hit with the injunctions in the first place.

He accused one of the judges of failing to properly apply the required “fair question test.” In failing to do so, he claimed the orders were unlawful.

Lawyers for the school disagreed and urged the court not to interfere with the orders.

A judgement is due to be delivered at 2pm this afternoon.
