Judges decided to limit today's legal challenge because of his refusal to give a commitment to abide by the court orders.
Enoch Burke's appeal against orders of the High Court, one of which was to stay away from Wilson's Hospital School in Co Westmeath, is now under way.
However, the judges decided to limit today's legal challenge because of his refusal to give a commitment to abide by the court orders while this case is live.
Earlier this week, he was told it shouldn't be assumed that an appeal would be entertained from someone still in contempt of court.
This was a reference to his repeated attendance at the school after the orders were put in place.
Mr Burke accused the judges of "putting a gun to his head" but he has now begun making his arguments.
