Vol. 406 No. 8

Written Answers. - High Court Cases.

Alan Shatter

Question:

17 Mr. Shatter asked the Minister for the Marine the number of High Court cases in which he was named as defendant in court proceedings in each of the last ten years; the issues involved in such proceedings; the number of such cases successfully defended by him; the number of such cases in which the plaintiff was successful; the amount of legal costs incurred by the State in each year in respect of such cases; and the amount of legal costs paid out by the State in each year pursuant to orders for costs made against him.

I consider that extracting the very detailed information requested would serve no useful public purpose, would mean deferring more pressing and urgent work in my Department and cannot be justified.
