Is this Irish law?

I'm all about respect for the court of law and the concept of common manners, I'm a bit confused about this case.

Is the Judge right in his ruling?

Judge being an eejit. You'd want to see the absolute filth of some of the robes and wigs barristers wear in court rooms, but somehow someone wearing shorts on a hot day is out of line.

I suppose it shows lack of respect for the court.

Leg End Reject · 24-07-2019 11:51PM

I've seen pictures of skangers in tracksuits being escorted into court, so not sure.

Judges tend to be conservative and pompous so maybe it was that?

Where is the f*cking justice in this country................ The Irish judiciary are an absolute joke!!! THAT'S Irish law for ya!

Could be just me but you seem to have gotten side tracked.

Is that a "Yay" or "Nay" jaxxx?

You have to look respectable if you're going to court.

It's nonsense really of course. As has been said, spend a day in the four courts and you'll see an endless stream of skangers going in and out for their court appearances dressed in tracksuits and nothing is said. This particular scumbag broke a Gardai's nose and turned up to court in his best sweat pants and t-shirt combination and there is no report of the judge remarking on it at all.

We alwas had oddballs of District Judges. Frank Hall made a habit of reading out the various court reports in the provincial papers detailing accounts of cases and highlihting the Judges eccentricities.

She got a female judge that day who is due to sentence that woman this Tuesday. I wonder what she will wear for her 2nd appearance?

Though to be fair if it was me I would have reacted like this

Had the misfortune back in the day to find myself before a particular district court judge in the border area.

Waste of time having a solicitor as he just believed every lie spouted by the guard providing account details and would not let either myself or my solicitor get a word in.

Same nutter made the headlines a year later for saying he would " blow the head off anyone who trespassed on his property" while dealing with a breaking and entering case.

Good FF councellor from donegal who owed his position on the bench to a particular FF past minister who after loading up on liquor, liked to drive down motorways in the wrong direction.

All judges owe their gig to political appointments.

Another spacer of a Judge in Dublin looked very favourably on pretty litle things with a extra button or two on the blouse open.

A court is any person or institution with authority to judge or adjudicate, often as a government institution, with the authority to adjudicate legal disputes between parties and carry out the administration of justice in civil, criminal, and administrative matters in accordance with the rule of law.

Judges shouldn't be wearing clobber brought in from when this country was occupied.

Many of the lower class types up for minor offences in the District Court show up PJs and the likes.

Anybody with a bit of breeding and class would obviously turn out well.

It's adviable to suit and boot as a Defendent but I don't think that wearing causal atire can be taken as Contempt of Court.

Wouldn't mind seeing this without his leisure wear.
There are some hot scumbags out there!

Judge in the shorts case was absolutely right.
It is love island season but shorts are not appropriate for court.
The shorts guy recognised this by turning up in court on Friday in navy suit and decorative handkerchief, as described by Irish examiner newspaper.

Same way judges disrespect PPL trying to stay in their houses - aiding their barrister buddies representing the banks that destroyed our country?

That’s just the judges applying the law, which is their job.

Oh, and people aren’t trying to stay in “their” house.

If they paid their mortgage they wouldn’t be in court.

Isn't there some death row convict somewhere you could propose marriage to ?

Irish Guitarist · 27-07-2019 07:45AM

What happens if he wears shorts the next time? Will the judge keep turning him away?

Can do.

but in theory the judge could hold the person in contempt, as in lock him up for a period of time. The decision on if the person is given a fair process or not rests with the high court and supreme court if it's a point of law.
So if on the 3/4 time the same dress was presented he would end up spending a few days in jail before it went to the high court.

the beer revolu · 28-07-2019 10:59AM

That judge is a self important, pompous embarrassment to the judiciary.

The lack of respect for judges in society is caused by crazy lenient sentencing, crazy big payouts and this kind of knobology!

Marhay70 · 28-07-2019 01:44PM

Is there a dress code for a court appearance, can't say I've ever heard of one apart from offending public decency?

Is this Irish law?
