A legal challenge regarding the approval of an Orange Order parade through a nationalist area is set to be heard in Belfast. The residents of Garvaghy Road oppose the march, citing concerns over potential disorder, as tensions reminiscent of past parading disputes resurface.

The Court of Appeal will examine claims that the Parades Commission misinterpreted police assessments and did not accurately represent evidence in its decision-making process. This hearing follows a series of legal proceedings that allowed the march to proceed despite ongoing protests.
