The Irish High Court has slapped down Facebook's bid to further delay the battle over the legality of its transatlantic data transfers in a critical judgment that questions the firm's previous conduct in court.

On Monday, Facebook applied for a stay in the long-running case over the way in which it transfers data from the EU to the US, which was initially brought by privacy activist Max Schrems back in 2013.
