The board of management of Wilson's Hospital School wants to be joined as a notice party in jailed teacher Enoch Burke's latest High Court action over the membership of a panel which will hear his appeal against dismissal from the school. Mr Burke has been jailed for contempt of court for a number of periods totalling almost 600 days because he has repeatedly trespassed on school property in breach of court orders. The school board says it will be impacted by the outcome of his latest proceedings seeking to challenge the composition of the appeals panel. Mr Burke claimed Mr Christie was an "activist for transgenderism". The judge made the matter returnable to Friday when Mr Burke is due before the court again.
