Court to rule on application to have Michael O’Leary jailed

The High Court is expected to rule today on an application by a Ryanair pilot to have the company's chief executive, Michael O'Leary, jailed for contempt of court.

Captain John Goss has claimed that Mr O'Leary and two other Ryanair executives breached a court order handed down a month ago directing them to allow the pilot to return to flying duties immediately.
