Mahon Tribunal granted injunctions against SBP

The Mahon Planning Tribunal was granted two injunctions by the Supreme Court today stopping the Sunday Business Post newspaper publishing documents circulated to a limited number of persons but directed to remain confidential in advance of a public hearing.

Today's Supreme Court order applies pending the outcome of an appeal by the tribunal against a High Court decision on Tuesday last in favour of the newspaper and rejecting the tribunal's claim for a perpetual injunction barring publication of the material.
