Court of Appeal to hear residents' parade challenge over Drumcree dispute
Protesters have maintained a presence on the Garvaghy Road since Sunday - picture taken on 28 September
A challenge to the decision to allow a controversial Orange Order parade to go down a predominantly nationalist road is due to be heard in court later.
The deadlock over the proposed march in Portadown - opposed by residents of the Garvaghy Road - has lasted since last Sunday morning.
The stalemate has reopened what was once the most bitter parading dispute in Northern Ireland, with stand-offs in the mid-to-late 90s accompanied by riots, roadblocks and killings.
The fresh Court of Appeal application argues that the Parades Commission, the organisation that approved the march, had "materially misdirected itself" on the police assessment of the potential for disorder.

The application also said the commission had not given an "accurate representation" of PSNI evidence in its decision.
Monday's hearing is due to begin in Belfast at about 10:30 BST.
On Friday 25 September, the Parades Commission decided that the march could go ahead with restrictions in place.
The residents' appeal will be the latest legal challenge since it was given the go-ahead after three separate legal hearings over the course of 13 hours late on Saturday and into the early hours of Sunday morning.
