The Court of Appeal has ruled that John Waters and Gemma O Doherty s must pay the legal costs of their failed appeal against a refusal to permit them to challenge the constitutionality of laws introduced in response to Covid-19.
In March the CAO ruled that their appeal against the High Court s decision not to grant them leave to bring their action should be dismissed on the basis it was misconceived and entirely without merit.
In a ruling on Friday the three-judge court, comprised of the COA s President Mr Justice George Brimingham Mr Justice John Edwards and Ms Justice Caroline Costello found that normal rule whereby the losing side should pay the legal costs should be applied.

A developer has launched High Court proceedings aimed at overturning An Bord Pleanala s refusal to grant planning permission to build 32 apartments in South County Dublin.
The action has been brought by LDB Developments Limited, which sought planning permission for a proposed three to six storey residential development at a site at Braemor Road, Churchtown, Dublin 14.
Last February, An Bord Pleanala, upheld a decision previously made by Dun Laoghaire Rathdown Co Council and refused the developer s application for planning permission.
Planning for the proposed project was refused by the board on the grounds that it was premature, and there were deficiencies in the developer s proposals to manage surface water on the site.
