Barrister suing Bar Council claims she's been ostracised by colleagues
Summary
In a High Court pre‑trial application, barrister Maura King has sued the Bar Council of Ireland and the Barristers Professional Conduct Tribunal, alleging that a complaint of misconduct lodged against her in 2013 was mishandled and dismissed. King claims the handling of the complaint has harmed her health and led to ostracism by many Bar members. Both bodies oppose the action and seek to strike the proceedings out, citing alleged inability to defend themselves. The judge, Mr Justice Paul Gilligan, has reserved judgment and will decide later.
