Finucane, Application for Judicial Review (Re Decision of the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland) [2024] NICA 55 (07 July 2024)
The Court of Appeal held that the Secretary of State’s decision to defer a public inquiry and await the outcome of further police and ombudsman investigations was unlawful and did not satisfy the promptness and effectiveness requirements of Article 2 ECHR. The Court affirmed that previous investigations, including those by the PSNI and PONI, were insufficient to discharge the State’s Article 2 obligations as identified by the Supreme Court. The ongoing delay constituted a continuing breach, and the Secretary of State was required to reconsider the Government’s response without further delay.
