High Court rules in favor of allowing the disclosure of its judgments in family law proceedings to the trustee in bankruptcy and the Workplace Relations Commission, to ensure that the in camera nature of Irish family proceedings does not impede justice, the court rejecting the suggestion to delay matters until after the completion of bankruptcy proceedings abroad, emphasizing the need to protect the legitimate interests of the children and their mother, who has been significantly affected by the defendant's financial and corporate conduct.
