A High Court judge has ordered builders Cassidy Brothers Concrete at the centre of the mica controversy in Donegal to make discovery of thousands of key documents along with tests results requested by homeowners who have taken legal action.
Mr Justice Mark Sanfey in the Commercial Court also said what disturbed him about the case was that the documentation being sought had been given to the other parties in the action, Donegal County Council and the National Standards Authority of Ireland, who are co-defendants with Cassidy Brothers Concrete Products Ltd, but the homeowners have not got them.
