Ryanair must pay part of former chief operations officer Peter Bellew’s legal costs after its bid to block his move to EasyJet was dismissed. The judge ordered payment for two of the eight days of the hearing.

Mr Justice Allen said Mr Bellew had lost two significant issues in the case, which added significantly to the trial’s length. Ryanair was not ordered to pay his document discovery costs relating to those issues or costs for the additional hearing days.
