High Court Orders Enoch Burke's Release on Strict No-Trespass Condition

The judge said freeing him is necessary so he can prepare his legal challenge to the school's appeals panel.

Overview

  • Mr Justice Brian Cregan ruled that Burke had raised substantive and credible issues about the Disciplinary Appeals Panel reviewing his dismissal.
  • Release was granted solely in the interests of the administration of justice on the condition that he does not trespass at Wilson's Hospital School.
  • The judge warned that any breach would see the school return to court immediately and Burke re-committed to prison.
  • The case will be mentioned on Thursday to address whether Burke attends the school, after he told the court he intends to go there once released.
  • Burke has spent over 550 days in custody for contempt related to orders not to attend the school, and his DAP challenge was adjourned to February 4.
