McCrystal v Minister for Children and others – Supreme Court rules against Government  

In a case taken by Prospect Law the Supreme Court ruled in favour of Mr McCrystal, finding that, where government acts in clear disregard of the constitution, the courts can intervene. Dramatically, as polling day approached, the judges of the Supreme Court found the Government to have acted unlawfully in spending public money in a way that was ‘not fair, equal or impartial’.
