The current Burke situation is a perfect example of the equitable maxim of he who seeks equity must do equity. In other words if you want the court to grant your injunction from sacking you then might consider abiding by the injunction to stay away from the school #burkes #irishlaw #law #equity

Irish regulator fines Facebook owner €265m for privacy rules breaches

That’s a serious chunk of change which Meta/Facebook will likely appeal to death. Ultimately, all or some portion of this fine will be paid. I assume that investigation costs did not come to €265m, so where does the money go when paid?

Question for #irishlaw - is there a similar principle like the wednesbury principle applied to rational/irrational decisions in Irish law?

A mild rant: Reading #Irish / #EU #legal decisions pains me. For whatever reason, they feel overly convoluted, with muddled, stilted language, and a weird amount of repetition for no reason.

It's not as if US cases are always perfectly clear, but they seem on average, to be written more clearly (to me), and I have NO IDEA WHY.

Any #mastolaw #irishlaw folks have any insights on this?
