Supermarket chain Lidl Ireland has brought High Court proceedings over what it says was a flawed Aldi-commissioned price survey which put Lidl in second place.

Aldi commissioned accountants Grant Thornton to carry out the survey in February 2018. The results, which were published through the mainstream media, said, on average, that Aldi was the cheaper retailer.
