High Court grants Army corporal leave to pursue promotion challenge

This report is a localnews.ie summary based on public court reporting and records; sources are listed below.

The High Court granted Adam Courtney’s ex parte application to pursue a challenge seeking an order requiring the Minister for Defence to promote him to a specialist IT sergeant position. Justice Mary Rose Gearty adjourned the matter to March.

Courtney alleges he was not considered for promotion after completing the required courses, and that military authorities intended to fill the position with an already-promoted sergeant. These are his claims in court papers.
