An unnamed teenage boy challenged his sexual assault prosecution in the High Court, with the challenge reported on 6 December 2022.

He sought to halt the case, alleging about three years of prosecutorial delay and loss of child safeguards; those claims had not been determined in the report.

Mr Justice Charles Meenan granted him permission to bring the judicial review challenge, and the matter was due back before the High Court in February.
