It had originally intended to decide on the following companies at 10.30am today, but has put this back until Thursday at 09.45am for reasons of 鈥渃onvenience鈥�:

None of these companies are contesting liability.

This morning it handed down a judgment on Durkan, which saw its fine reduced by 64 per cent from 拢6,720,551 to 拢2,436,000 and was successful in contesting one aspect of its liability.

This rate of reduction was much lower than the percentage decrease achieved by lawyers acting for six earlier appellants, including Kier and John Sisk, which on average saw fines reduced by 90 per cent.
