Irish courts are often given jurisdiction to “confirm” decisions of specialist tribunals, particularly professional disciplinary bodies. Such bodies may be required to have particular decisions (eg decisions sanctioning a member) confirmed if the member does not appeal the decision. Confirmation by a court of the decision serves two purposes: (1) it confirms that a proper or sufficient standard of justice has been applied by the specialist tribunal in its decision-making; (2) it allows more effective enforcement (eg by contempt of court) if a party fails to abide by the decision.
