A final report by inspectors appointed to investigate the alleged data breach at Independent News and Media (INM) plc in 2014 is to be provided to a High Court judge on Thursday, July 25.

Mr Justice Garrett Simons said on Tuesday he would have to decide whether to publish the report but his initial view was that it should be published unless there are parallel proceedings which may be affected by the report.
