Court of Appeal allows an appeal against the High Court's decision, granting the appellant full costs and overturning the original judgment that had refused to challenge the recognition of a Polish judgment, on the grounds that the transfer of individual causes of action to the respondent company was impermissible under Irish law due to the prohibition on maintenance and champerty; and the appellant is also granted full costs for both the appeal and the original High Court proceedings, with a stay on the costs order pending a potential Supreme Court appeal.
