A High Court action where a young woman is suing after she suffered brain damage when a car collided with her as she walked to school has had to be adjourned until the new year after a member of a legal team tested positive for Covid.

Ms Justice Leonie Reynolds on Tuesday adjourned Ashleigh Carroll’s case until mid-January.
