Abuse of Process unjust and improper conduct of civil litigation in Ireland was published in 2002.Here are some quotes about Dessies' book...."The machinery under which cases can be struck out either as disclosing no cause of action or constituting an abuse of process is extremely useful, since, if successfully used, it will save the client the ordeal of litigation. I am delighted to welcome Mr. Shiels' excellent work" Mr Justice Ronan Keane, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Ireland, 2002. "Abuse of process is a unique book. Desmond Shiels has written a timely and comprehensive analysis of an area of litigation that will grow in importance... few Lawyers leave a literary legacy for family, friends and colleagues for future generations." Dr Eamonn Hall "Because of the right to litigate guaranteed by the Constitution of Ireland, whether as a personal right or a property right, this jurisdiction to strike out or to stay proceedings, "will be exercised sparingly, only in the clearest of cases, and with great caution" - see Shiels: "Abuse of Process" (2002 edition) p., 4." Mr Justice Herbert in the High Court case of Lowes V Coillte Teoranta, March 2003 "Defendants facing hopeless fraudulent or malicious proceedings should ask the courts to dismiss the action as an abuse of process, according to the author of a new book, Dessie Shiels" Article by Kieron Wood BL, Sunday Business Post, July 2002 |
