High Court, in proceedings involving a claim of false imprisonment by An Garda Síochána, refuses application for leave to seek judicial review, on the grounds that: (a) the primary claim advanced by the applicant was for damages, which ought to be prosecuted by way of plenary proceedings; and (b) the applicant had not complied with the relevant time limits in bringing his application.
High Court - leave to seek judicial review - Statement of Grounds - certiorari and mandamus - assertions that members of Garda Síochána contrived to have the applicant remanded in custody on a charge related to an alleged attempted robbery - alleged that they did so on the basis of perjured evidence and a falsified charge of an attempt to rob a vehicle - damages for false imprisonment - proceedings seeking damages for false imprisonment ought to be prosecuted by way of plenary action - application for leave to seek judicial review was misconceived - failure to comply with relevant time limit under Rules of the Superior Courts - legal principles - leave refused
