E126 The Fifth Court - Catastrophe: Nakba II with author Fintan Drury (Legal & Human Rights Special)

Episode 126, The Fifth Court featuring – Catastrophe: Nakba II with author Fintan Drury (Legal & Human Rights Special)


Fintan Drury’s Catastrophe: Nakba II is a punch in the gut—not a balanced history lesson. On The Fifth Court, we dig into the polemical argument beneath the exhaustive research, and why it reads more like a rallying cry than a neutral narrative. As a lawyer, judge, or rights campaigner, you’ll find it both infuriating and illuminating.

Expect:

  • Legal flashpoints and human rights redlines
  • The rule of law and the right to self-defence
  • A call to action underneath the history

If you care about international law, ending impunity, or simply understanding how history becomes a platform for justice, this episode is for you.

Listen, discuss, and REPOST this episode to your network—because silence isn't an option.


The episode also includes recent important cases drawn from the Decisis casebook, discussed by hosts Mark Tottenham BL and Peter Leonard BL.

These are brought to you thanks to Charltons Solicitors and Collaborative Practitioners, Georges St. Dun Laoghaire, Dublin.


This episodes cases include;

  • A family law case, whether a court can interfere in the sequence of calling a witness
  • The National Transport Authority v Anderson, whether the NTA was allowed to carry out a 'covert' investigation
  • Veterinary Council of Ireland case to do whether a vet could be struck off on a summary basis
