Paul Murphy’s High Court challenge over the GP contract leak succeeded, with the court ruling that the SIPO decision not to investigate was inadequately reasoned, reported on 21 June 2024.

The court quashed that decision and sent the matter back to the Commission for further consideration. It found separately that SIPO’s decision not to appoint an officer for a preliminary inquiry was lawful.
