Struck out cases

Borrowed time

If a case is struck out with liberty to re enter,is there a specific time frame in which it has to be heard.

Without veering into the turf of legal advice - the case is struck out with liberty to re-enter. Nothing will occur without notice to the defendant.

It depends on the reason for the Strike Out. If the papers are not in order, then additional papers or indeed new proceedings may have to be served on the defendant. In the event that an agreement is reached with the defendant, then a default would need to occur to have the proceedings/case re-entered and therefore made live again.

Nothing will occur until the plaintiff or applicant re-enters the case 'for hearing'.

Very informative,thanks.Its in relation to the decision in the Irish language drink driving case yesterday.Many drink driving cases where struck out with liberty to re enter but within a limited time frame.The cases in relation to this would have been in April of 2016.They where pending the result of yesterday's Supreme court decision.In talking to barristers they are of different opinion,some say they will be re entered some say not,thanks.

You will need legal advice from a solicitor/barrister who acts in your individual case. Impossible and contrary to the charter here to go any further. The above, I had replied with is very general.
