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

The High Court dismissed a challenge to the strike-out of employment offences. The proceedings were reported on 11 July 2019.

The charges arose from the closure of Clerys department store in Dublin and related redundancies affecting 460 workers.

The action concerned charges against Deidre Foley, Mark Redmond and OCS Operations, following disclosure delays and fair-trial concerns.

Mr Justice Charles Meenan ruled that the District Court decision was within jurisdiction and had applied the appropriate legal principles.
