One Belfast law firm received highest amount from local authority
A Northern Ireland council has spent almost £700,000 of ratepayers’ money on judicial reviews in the last two years.
This was broken down into two separate payment of ‘standard legal costs’ of £210,337.97 and legal costs associated with judicial review that totalled £347.828.22. The request followed the council receiving pre-action correspondence relating to most of the applications from an environmental campaigner.
However, the local authority would not detail how much legal advisers are paid for attending meetings, stating that the information was “exempt from disclosure due to potential prejudice of commercial interests”. Former LCCC councillor Luke Poots was chair of the planning committee when it approved the application for which his father had lobbied in favour.
