Alleged abuse victims who give evidence at an inquiry into children’s homes in NI have no legal right to copies of their statements, a judge has ruled.
The High Court judge said the records were the property of the Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry.
His verdict came in a legal challenge by a woman who claims she was subjected to physical and psychological abuse.
The abuse was alleged to have taken place at Nazareth House care home in Belfast between 1971-1976.
