Mayo cattle dealer Finbar Tolan will be looking to have the High Court ruling made against him in May overturned in the Court of Appeal on Friday 18 December.
Tolan’s legal action against Aurivo co-op was dismissed in its entirety by the High Court in May. Tolan claimed he had a formal contract with the co-op and that their actions in ending their dealings with him three years ago amounted to a breach of contract.

However, in his ruling on the fourth day of the case in the High Court, the president of the High Court, Justice Nicholas Kearns, found that the business relationship between Tolan and the co-op was not governed by any binding legal requirement. The judge dismissed the case and awarded legal costs in favour of Aurivo.
After the ruling was made, Tolan announced his intention to appeal the decision.
A spokesman from Aurivo said the co-op will have full representation at the hearing.
