This report is a localnews.ie summary based on public court reporting and records; sources are listed below.

Medical Billing Ltd secured High Court injunctions from Mr Justice Donald Binchy over the alleged unlawful taking of sensitive data. The proceedings were reported on 16 December 2015. The orders concerned Stality Ltd and James Collado, who had been hired to work on the company’s website.

The mandatory orders direct the return of the company’s database backup and website code pending the full hearing. They also prohibit the defendants, and anyone with notice of the orders, from disclosing, disseminating or circulating the data, or interfering with the company’s website or property. The alleged unlawful taking was the company’s case, rather than an established finding reported in the source.

Counsel for Medical Billing Ltd said copies of the material had been recovered after gardaí attended the defendants’ premises following a temporary injunction. Counsel said the company remained concerned that confidential data could still be circulated or disseminated. James Collado was not in court during the application.
