Enoch Burke’s bid to halt the hearing of his appeal against his dismissal as a teacher was contested at the High Court on 11 July 2023. The report said the appeal hearing had been stopped by an interim injunction; the panel intended to oppose extending it.

The panel said it needed time to respond to Burke’s claim that member Kieran Christie would be biased. Burke also raised an issue about a video clip, and the parties hoped it could be resolved.

The judge set a timetable for legal documents and provisionally fixed a late-July hearing on Burke’s injunction application. The expired interim order was to be replaced by undertakings from the panel in the same terms.
