In the dock: should the Special Criminal Court be abolished?

Update: 2021-11-10

Description

UK legal commentator David Allen Green discusses the constitutional significance of the Good Friday Agreement, and the implications of Article 16 of the Northern Ireland protocol. Gemma McLoughlin Burke from the Irish Council for Civil Liberties advocates the abolition of the Special Criminal Court. We discuss the centenary of the first women to qualify as barristers. And recent case law on: proving copy wills; whether a golfer could sue his club after his subscription had lapsed; and whether asylum seekers are entitled to hold Irish driving licences.

Law on Trial is presented by Peter Leonard BL, Mark Tottenham BL, editor of Decisis.ie, and Catherine Sanz, legal correspondent of the Business Post.
