Case could pave way to end €400m medical cover row
The High Court is due to issue a judgment on whether Irish courts have the jurisdiction to decide the "appropriateness" of the MDU's refusal to provide indemnity cover to hundreds of consultants facing malpractice law suits.
But whatever the judgement is, it is likely to be appealed to the Supreme Court. It could take up to a year before this court makes a final ruling.
