Result due in insider trading case

THE High Court will this week deliver its ruling in the €85 million insider dealing claim brought by Fyffes against former shareholder DCC Group.

Ms Justice Mary Laffoy will deliver her ruling in the case on Wednesday.

Fyffes allege that DCC and its chief executive Jim Flavin (a non-executive director of the fruit importers) were in possession of price sensitive information when it sold a 10% stake in Fyffes over three days in February 2000.
