Despite daily fines being imposed, Enoch Burke has continued to defy the order.
Enoch Burke's appeal against orders of the High Court refraining him from attending at his former school is due to be heard today.
Earlier this week, the President of the Court of Appeal warned the former school teacher that his challenge may not be entertained if he continues his contempt.
Today has been set down for the full hearing of Enoch Burke’s legal challenge against a number of court orders, imposed on him by the High Court last year.
One of them includes an injunction to stay away from the school he used to teach at. Despite daily fines being imposed, he has continued to defy the order.
On Monday, Mr Justice George Birmingham told both parties it shouldn’t be assumed that an appeal would be entertained from someone who was still in contempt.
He said it also shouldn’t be assumed that the court could countenance a situation where someone was in contempt up to their hearing date, and again while waiting for a judgement, which is likely to be reserved and delivered on a later date.
Both sides were also one day has been set aside for this hearing so if it requires more time, there could be a difficulty in facilitating an extra day anytime soon.
