Lidl will have to pay costs of failed injunction bid against IFA

Supermarket giant took defamation case over two ads published last March

Lidl will have to pay the legal costs of the Irish Farmers' Association over the supermarket's chain's failed attempt to prevent the re-publication of allegedly defamatory IFA advertisements, the High Court ruled.

Two weeks ago, the court rejected Lidl Gmbh's application for an order prohibiting re-publication pending a full hearing of the defamation claim which will be heard before a jury.
