Gerry Kelly suing over Police Land Rover incident

Sinn Féin's Gerry Kelly is taking legal action against the chief constable over an incident where he was carried on the bonnet of a police Land Rover.

The incident in Carrick Hill last June followed the loyalist Tour of the North parade in Belfast

Sinn Féin said: "Gerry Kelly, in common with any other citizen, is entitled to access the courts when he believes he has been wronged."

Mr Kelly is taking a civil case against Matt Baggott.

A police officer has accepted a formal reprimand for his part in the incident.

In January, the MLA received the same sanction for clinging to the vehicle while attempting to stop it.

A person refusing to accept the "informed warning" can be prosecuted.

The Police Federation said the officer's warning was "unjustified".

I don't know what he hopes to achieve from this.

Maybe get a few quid out of it or whatever.

Worth a try. He'd legal aid too seeing as he is on minimum wage despite the perks.

£45K isn't minimum wage, so we're unlikely to be paying for his legal representation. But we'll be footing the bill if he's successful,

No sh*t. He's exercising his rights.

[Maguire01]

Absolutely, and i'd defend his right to do so. But that doesn't mean it's the right thing to do. Rights and responsibilities and all that.

dont rock the boat is the stoops way of thinking,but he is entitled to sue and so he should.

I didn't present my post as fact. It's a subjective point, surely?

[Maguire01]

Does anyone actually know the reason why he's suing? I'm no legal expert, so correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't the point of taking civil action to seek redress? If so, redress for what? Was there an injury? A financial loss?

[Maguire01]

Some things are worth rocking the boat for. It may well be academic now as it's quite possible the boat is about to capsize.

Sue for what? I nearly got clipped crossing the road a few weeks ago. Can I claim off the driver for nearly being injured?

[Maguire01]

So, apparently Gerry Kelly has dropped his civil action.
