Teacher Enoch Burke alleges bias and breach of fair procedure in a fresh High Court challenge against a decision refusing to reinstate his employment at Wilson's Hospital School.
At the High Court on Tuesday, Burke was granted permission to bring judicial review proceedings against three members of the Disciplinary Appeal Panel (DAP), the Minister for Education and the Board of Management of Wilson's Hospital School.
He was formally dismissed from his position for alleged gross misconduct after an appeal last May found his challenge to his dismissal had failed.
He states that Wilson's is a Church of Ireland School with archbishops and bishops of that denomination as trustees, guardians and patrons.
Judge Cian Ferriter granted permission to Mr Burke to pursue his judicial review and adjourned the matter to October.
