Northern Ireland Secretary Brandon Lewis is to be challenged in court for “failing” to implement the Stormont House Agreement.
A lawyer acting for Thomas Braniff, whose father David was killed by loyalist paramilitaries in 1989, said the action is over proposals for dealing with the past in the 2014 accord – which have not been implemented.
The Braniff family say the case was not reviewed by the now defunct Historical Enquiries Team and has been in a queue for the PSNI’s Legacy Investigation Branch since 2015.

The family has also raised concerns about the possibility of collusion between the security forces and Loyalists in the attack.
