1.00 News: Michael Fisher reports on the legal applications over the refusal of the UK government to publish four reports by Judge Peter Cory into alleged instances of collusion
A judicial review into the government's failure to give a date for the publication of the Judge Cory reports was due to begin at the High Court in Belfast this morning.
But an initial application on behalf of Northern Secretary Paul Murphy to have the proceedings adjourned for three weeks was granted by Mr Justice Gillen.
He said he granted the application reluctantly and wished to make it clear he did so in the expectation that the court would be given dates for publication of the reports in three weeks' time.
The judge said he had to balance the desire of the families of the victims to have the reports published against any potential risk to the more than 100 people named in the documents.
