Haemophilia Society's High Court application dismissed

The Irish Haemophilia Society has lost its application for a judicial review of the banning of certain documents by the Lyndsay Tribunal.

The High Court upheld Judge Alyson Lyndsay's ruling that the Blood Transfusion Service Board's files are privileged. Dismissing the application, Judge Peter Kelly said the IHS had failed to prove that the tribunal was wrong in law to ban the 611 documents.
