Boxers ordered to pay €60,000 costs for case against IABA

Thirty one members of the Dublin County Amateur Boxing Board have been told by a judge to pay a €60,000 costs bill arising out of an unsuccessful legal foray against their parent body, the Irish Amateur Boxing Association.

Barrister Caroline Costello, S.C., told the Circuit Civil Court that three years ago the 31 defendants failed in the High Court to restrain a decision of the IABA to change its status to that of a limited company.
