Chairman to appeal ruling he unfairly denied legal representation to ‘abuse victim’

The chairman of an inquiry into alleged historical abuse at care homes in Northern Ireland is to appeal a ruling that he unfairly denied legal representation to a victim.

But his former judicial colleague, Sir Anthony Hart, has now lodged a challenge to the verdict.
