Hearing Or Decision
Summary
In February 2021 Virgin Media settled its Commercial Court action against Eir over the inclusion of Virgin's free‑to‑air channels on an Eir set‑top box. Virgin had sought an injunction to stop Eir from broadcasting its channels, including Virgin Media One and Two, and to declare that Eir had no right to do so under the Broadcasting Act. The case was brought before Mr Justice David Barniville, who was informed by Virgin's lawyer that the parties had reached a settlement and could strike the matter out. No settlement details were disclosed, and the case was resolved after mediation.
