An Israeli woman’s challenge to the State’s mandatory hotel quarantine will be heard in the High Court on Monday. She is challenging the constitutionality of her quarantine under Article 40.4.2, which allows for a High Court hearing into the legal justification of any detention. At the High Court on Saturday morning, Mr Justice Senan Allen directed that the case be heard in front of the High Court president Ms Justice Mary Irvine on Monday morning. The State was represented by Michael Cush SC and her counsel was Conor Power SC. Mr Cush said the State will argue that mandatory quarantine is fundamentally different from other forms of detention normally challenged under Article 40 of the constitution.
