High Court refuses to grant leave for judicial review in a case where an individual's release on €100 bail was delayed due to electronic fund transfer processing times over the Christmas period, on the grounds that the issuing of proceedings was premature and potentially unnecessary, as the prison had not acted unreasonably given the holiday context; more assertive engagement with the prison's representatives could have resolved the issue without resorting to litigation; and the proceedings were deemed moot as the parties engaged and appeared to be resolving the matter.
Judicial review - bail conditions - electronic fund transfer (EFT) - holiday period - Cloverhill Prison - mandamus - damages - costs - presumption of innocence - habeas corpus - G v DPP [1994] 1 I.R. 374 - discretionary remedy - constitutional rights - mootness.
