In December 2013, we represented Ms Joanna Jordan in her High Court challenge to the outcome of the Children’s Referendum, specifically in relation to the constitutionality of the Referendum Act 1994. The Court has not as yet determined the case. However, we were notified this week that judgment will be given by Mr Justice McDermott this Friday 20th June and we will post a further update once we have received the judgement.
Readers may recall that a related challenge was heard in the High Court in May 2013. Mr Justice McDermott determined that matter in late October 2013 and declined to grant our client’s petition to annul the provisional referendum certificate. We subsequently lodged a Supreme Court appeal and obtained priority but this appeal has not yet been listed for hearing.
For further background, please see our previous posts here, here and here.
