E50 The Fifth Court. Presenters Mark Tottenham BL and Peter Leonard BL continue their chat about the seismic McGee V AG case, fifty years ago, with Supreme Court judge, Mr. Justice Gerard Hogan. (Make sure to listen back to E49 for the first part of this riveting chat). He talks about the David Norris case and its importance.

The two also discuss three further cases from the Decisis.ie casebook;

• A case involving the Government's Food Vision 2030 strategy, a challenge by the Friends of the Irish Environment seeking a judicial review. The court held for the Government.
• A case involving the dissolution of a partnership involving a stepfather (defendant) and his stepchildren and their nursing home business. The court gave an interim judgement.
• A judicial review proceeding involving a planning decision, however the application was brought one day out of time. The court refused.
