Aer Lingus seeks to restrict rights
Aer Lingus appealed to the European Court of First Instance in November after the European Commission refused to order Ryanair to dispose of its 29% stake in Aer Lingus. The carrier yesterday sought to restrict Ryanair’s rights pending the court’s ruling in the main appeal.
“A favourable decision on interim measures would effectively dispose of the case as Ryanair would either have to sell their shares or be prevented from doing anything with them,” said Sebastian McMichael, a senior solicitor with British law firm Shepherd & Wedderburn LLP.
