THE ORDER OF THE SHAM COURT HEARING.
1. The Order Of the Sham Hearing
The chronology below exposes a profound procedural disconnect. While the Dublin Circuit Court officially “settled” the written order on 27 February 2026, the administrative office withheld the physical document from the unrepresented Plaintiff until May 2026. By causing the clock to run out silently, this delay systematically blocked the standard 28-day window required to lodge an appeal
2. The Immediate Inquiry
The Request for the Record: Immediately following the rulings on 29 January 2026, the Plaintiff addressed Judge O’Connor directly in open court to ascertain when the formal written Court orders would be issued.
The Judicial Response: The Judge stated that the order would be sent to the Plaintiff when it was ready.
The Indefinite Timeline: When pressed by the Plaintiff for a specific timeframe, the Court reiterated that the documentation would simply be sent when ready.
3. The Administrative Timeline & Withheld Records
The Request for the Record: Immediately following the rulings on 29 January 2026, the Plaintiff addressed Judge O’Connor directly in open court to ascertain when the formal written Court orders would be issued.
The Judicial Response: The Judge stated that the order would be sent to the Plaintiff when it was ready.
The Indefinite Timeline: When pressed by the Plaintiff for a specific timeframe, the Court reiterated that the documentation would simply be sent when ready.
4. Structural Chronology vs. Statutory Deadlines
February 2026 (The Phone Inquiries): The Plaintiff contacted the Court office via telephone to request the status of the written order. Administrative staff informed the Plaintiff that the document would be issued only when ready and stated that a party does not need a physical court order to appeal because they were present in court.
March 2026 (The Written Requests): The Plaintiff submitted formal electronic mail tracing the missing order. This inquiry, along with a subsequent follow-up email, received zero response from the Court office.
May 2026 (The Forced Release): The Plaintiff issued a final escalatory email demanding the order, copying all named defendants and the Legal Services Regulatory Authority (LSRA). Following this multi-party notification, the Court office finally released the document.
4. The Substantive Wording of the Order
The order bears the formal heading: Dublin Circuit Court, County of the City of Dublin, Before Judge O’Connor, 29 January 2026. The substantive text states textually:
“The court order the case be struck out on the bases it disclose no cause of action. It bound to fail, it frivolous, it vexatious and abuse of process and falls foul of Henderson -v- Henderson”
The order further dictates the financial penalty:
“That the defendant do recover from the plaintiff the costs of this motion and application to be taxed in default of agreement”
5. The Strategic Impact on Rights of Appeal
The Expired Appeal Window: In Irish civil procedure, the standard strict window to lodge an appeal from the Circuit Court to the High Court is 28 days.
The Expired Judicial Review Window: The strict standard timeline to apply for leave to seek Judicial Review against an administrative or procedural action is typically three months from the date the grounds arose.
The Consequence of the Delay: By withholding the physical text of the settled order from February until May 2026, the administrative handling effectively caused the statutory clocks to run out, systematically blocking the standard avenues of immediate legal recourse.
