Legal challenge to British Army
23 May 2002 --
A ruling that the British Army acted legally, when it allowed two British
soldiers convicted of killing North Belfast teenager Peter McBride to remain in
the army is going to be challenged in the courts by British soldiers dismissed
for lesser offences.
Madden and Finucane solicitors have appealed against a ruling by Judge Brian
Kerr that the Ministry of Defence was not in breach of the law by allowing the
two soldiers to remain in their regiment.
The appeal comes as the Pat Finucane Centre in Derry revealed this week that
soldiers dismissed for lesser offences such as drug taking, are taking the first
steps in a process that could see claims for unfair dismissal against the MoD.
Solicitors from Yorkshire and London have been contacting the centre seeking
copies of the ruling after a number of British soldiers came looking for advice
from their solicitors.
This move came after the Pat Finucane Centre backed a letter from the dead
teenager's mother, Jean McBride, in the British press asking former soldiers to
seek legal advice on their dismissals.
