Here is the rewritten story with the unsupported numeric claim removed: A legal bid to overturn the ban on the Drumcree parade has failed, with the High Court in Belfast ruling that the decision made by Northern Ireland Secretary Sir Chris Bryant was lawful. The judicial review was brought by a Portadown Orangeman against Sir Chris and the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) Chief Constable Jon Boutcher, following the secretary of state's intervention to stop the parade due to security concerns. The Orangeman's lawyer stated that an appeal of the judgment is "likely". The Drumcree dispute has a history of tension between Orangemen and nationalist residents of the Garvaghy Road in Portadown, with a stand-off lasting almost two weeks. The decision to stop the march was previously overturned in court, but the latest ruling has upheld the ban. The case has been the subject of ongoing protests, with thousands of people gathering in support of the Drumcree Orangemen.
