Businessman Denis O’Brien is entitled to a copy of the second interim report of court-appointed inspectors investigating an alleged data leak at Independent News and Media (INM), the High Court ruled on Wednesday. Mr Justice Garrett Simons also said former INM chief financial officer, Ryan Preston, is entitled to the report. Mr O’Brien, a former majority shareholder in INM, was joined as a notice party in the case earlier this month. Mr Buckley seeks their removal or recusal on grounds of alleged objective bias. He also set a date in October for the hearing of Mr Buckley’s main case seeking removal of the inspectors.
