The Irish Times lost an injunction application in the Irish Commercial Court, reported on 7 August 2015.

The application sought to stop Times Newspapers Limited launching a digital Irish edition pending the full trial.

The court refused relief because The Irish Times had not acted with reasonable expedition after learning of the planned launch.

The underlying proceedings seek relief over alleged trade mark infringement, copyright infringement and passing-off.

The substantive case was due to continue to trial.
