The family of a teenage boy shot dead in 1972 have been given permission to challenge a decision not to prosecute the soldier who killed him
It is due to take place in January.
Des Doherty, solicitor for the Hegarty family, said the granting of a judicial review was "positive and welcome news".Daniel, who was a labourer, was shot twice in the head during an Army operation in the Creggan area of Derry on 31 July 1972.It was during Operation Motorman, the name given to a military operation by the Army to reclaim "no-go areas" set up by republican paramilitaries in towns across Northern Ireland.
The second inquest was ordered by the attorney general in 2009 following an examination by the Historical Enquiries Team. In 2007, the British government apologised to the Hegarty family after describing Daniel as a terrorist.
