Sean Brown: Legal challenge begins to overturn inquiry

It has pledged further reforms to the ICRIR.

A lawyer acting for Secretary of State Hilary Benn argued the judge who made the public inquiry ruling had “fallen into legal error.”

He said it involved “very difficult constitutional territory”, resulting in a decision “which is classically for ministers to make, not the courts.”

Earlier, campaigners, including families who lost loved ones during the Troubles, held a demonstration outside the High Court in Belfast in solidarity with the family of Sean Brown.

The hearing continues.
