    On the back of recent High Court judgements such as Wallace V Creevey (iehc 294), Naughto v Drummond (Iehc 290) and Kennedy V Murray (iehc 291) the high court found in the context of historic sexual abuse alleged to have occurred in schools there is no cause of action against state parties and such claims will be struck out on that basis.

    As far as i am aware this has led to the states solicitors contacting people with cases pending to inform them that if the pursue cases and lose they will be pursued for costs and that they should submit a notice of discontinuance with-in 21 days


    Does this now mean that it would be illogical for a person to continue to pursue their case or does one envisage the above findings being over turned to allow these cases proceed?
