Yesterday we experienced the privilege of being the first Solicitors in Ireland to run a PI High Court Case since the Court hearings stopped due to Covid restrictions. At the virtual callover there were four cases listed and we were in two of them! The Courts had been closed to us for four months or so and it was an experience as we worked with the Judge, the stenographer and the Courts Service staff and journalists to run a court case with limited numbers allowed in the Court at any one time. It was like playing musical chairs as we balanced evidential needs with the need to record and journalistically report on the case. Interesting times!!
