Motor Insurers’ Bureau of Ireland in appeal over Setanta liabilities

If it loses the appeal, motorists could face a premium of more than €50 added to their car insurance bills. The Court of Appeal ruled in March the MIBI should cover the cost of the 1,700 claims involved which total €90m.
Earlier this month, when the Supreme Court agreed to hear the appeal, it described the issue involved as “a very serious one”.
