12. The end of the road?
A legal bid to overturn the ban on a contentious Orange Order parade down the Garvaghy Road in Portadown fails. Declan Harvey and Mark Simpson were in court.
A High Court judge dismisses a legal bid to overturn the Secretary of State鈥檚 decision banning a contentious Orange Order parade down the mainly nationalist Garvaghy Road in Portadown. In his lengthy judgment Mr Justice Scoffield said the decision, taken on October 9, had been 鈥渓awful鈥�. Judicial review proceedings were brought by a member of Portadown District Lodge against Sir Chris Bryant and the PSNI chief constable Jon Boutcher. The Secretary of State's intervention to stop the parade came after a security assessment he received from Boutcher. Declan Harvey and Mark Simpson were in court and bring you the detail from 59-page judgment.
