Access to Justice and Legal Costs: Discussion (Resumed)
Pearse Doherty (Donegal, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source
My first question is about legal costs for claims that are made and settlements that are not accepted by an individual at PIAB who goes on to make a claim in the courts and where the court does not award a higher payment. Dr. Doherty might be able to answer this. Is there any evidence of the sections in the 2007 Act being enforced by the courts, which means that the legal fees would not be payable to that individual?
