A woman accused of publishing pictures of two teenagers convicted of the murder of another teenager has brought a High Court challenge over the District Court’s decision to refuse jurisdiction in the matter. Edel Doherty claims the District Court’s decision is procedurally flawed and should be set aside. She claims, when the matter came back before the court, it was heard by a different District Court judge. She claims this was done without proper reasons being given and was manifestly unfair as she had assumed the matter would proceed before the District Court. When her case came before Mr Justice Charles Meenan on Monday, he was told there were a number of similar actions pending or about to be brought before the courts.
