Court reserves decision on approval of €6.5m settlement involving firm at centre of pork products dioxin recall

THE High Court has reserved its decision on whether to approve a scheme of arrangement between a company alleged to have supplied animal feed containing harmful dioxins and those suing it arising out of the contamination.

Millstream Recycling Ltd has asked the court to approve a scheme with more than 25 creditors who have brought actions against the firm over being supplied with contaminated feed.

Yesterday, Ms Justice Mary Laffoy reserved judgment following the conclusion of submissions from those in favour and parties against the scheme being approved. The judge said she would give her decision as soon as she could.
