High Court dismisses lead action over calculated grades

Liability for the substantial costs of the case, which ran for some five weeks and was subject to several pre-trial applications, will be decided later.

A High Court judge has dismissed the lead challenge over the final calculated grades model adopted for the Leaving Certificate 2020 exam in response to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The rejection of the case brought by Belvedere College Leaving Cert student Freddie Sherry has implications for more than 60 other challenges to the calculated grades.
