Gemma O’Doherty and John Waters' appeal against the dismissal of their challenge of the constitutionality of laws introduced in response to the Covid-19 pandemic has opened before the Supreme Court.

Their appeal is against a decision by the High Court, later upheld by the Court of Appeal (CoA), not to grant them permission to bring their action against the measures on the basis it was “misconceived and entirely without merit”. The two were also ordered to pay the legal costs of their failed action.
