Do you have any idea when the case will be back in the High Court?

Yes, but it creates an immediate long term problem for all of the national legislation and leaves it all open to be contested in the courts.  In the case of Ireland, it would be extraordinary for the High Court to dismiss the opinions of the ECJ, particularly as they believed there was sufficient grounds to refer the original Digital Rights Ireland complaint to the ECJ in the first place.  It will be interesting to see the final ruling.
