Mammoth Fyffes case enters final countdown

THE mammoth civil insider dealing lawsuit taken by Fyffes against former shareholder DCC enters its final phase today.

The High Court will begin hearing legal submissions from both sides, which is expected to last two weeks. It is believed that the submissions run to hundreds of pages.

Oral evidence finished in June after 78 days. The case began last December and a ruling by Ms Justice Mary Laffoy is not expected until October at the earliest.
