The Court of Appeal has upheld the High Court's decision to require a company with interests in establishing a private hospital to provide security for costs to the VHI. The appeal challenged the High Court's findings on two grounds: the alleged causation of Limerick Private's impecuniosity by the VHI and the delay by the VHI in seeking security for costs. The Court of Appeal found no evidence of prejudice to the company due to the delay and determined that the company's financial inability was not caused by the VHI's actions. The original decision from the High Court, which had not been influenced by the delay or the alleged causation of impecuniosity, was therefore affirmed.
