- Regulators allege the firm engaged in a "misleading commercial practice" by offering "Platinum" tickets in a manner likely to deceive consumers regarding the product's main characteristics and specifications.
- At Dublin District Court on Monday, defense counsel Remy Farrell told Judge Anthony Halpin: "I anticipate that this matter will be fully contested."
- Judge Halpin adjourned the case for mention until October 5, with the defense planning to call a dozen witnesses for a trial expected to last four days.
