Ian Bailey Loses High Court Ruling Appeal On Most Grounds
Most of his case wasn’t put to a jury because the judge decided the claims weren't lodged within the six-year time limit
Ian Bailey has lost all but one of his grounds of appeal against a failed legal action against An Garda Síochána and the State.
It arose from his unsuccessful attempt to sue for what he claimed was a conspiracy to frame him for the 1996 murder in West Cork of Sophie Toscan du Plantier.
Most of his case wasn’t put to a jury because the judge decided the claims weren't lodged within the six-year time limit.
The Court of Appeal upheld his decision but ruled in Ian Bailey’s favour in relation to the alleged unlawful disclosure of certain information to the media
Afterwards, Ian Bailey said he welcomed the decision to order a retrial on that issue:
