Maura King opposed an application in the High Court to strike out her case over a dismissed misconduct complaint, reported on 5 October 2016.

The complaint against King was made in 2013 and dismissed that year. She alleges the Bar Council and Barristers Professional Conduct Tribunal mishandled it, causing personal injury and damage to her health. The defendants argue the case is unstateable or bound to fail, while King says the action concerns how the complaint was handled. The action continues before Mr Justice Paul Gilligan.
