A High Court judge will give his decision in October on applications by a number of people seeking material from a court-appointed investigation into an alleged data leak at Independent News and Media (INM).

Mr Justice Garrett Simons heard applications today on behalf of a number of people who are among what is known as the "INM 19" and are seeking information for pending or intended litigation against former INM chairman Leslie Buckley and/or the company itself.
