and Gemma O’Doherty must pay the legal costs of their failed appeal over a refusal to permit them challenge the constitutionality of laws introduced in response to Covid-19.

Mr Waters and Ms Doherty had appealed the High Court’s refusal to permit the two to bring their challenge and its award of costs of that hearing against them.
