Biffa Waste Services is seeking 166.2 m in reparations from Scottish government.

It says the government breached a duty of care and was negligent when it claimed the scheme was viable.

Ministers denied the firm's arguments and said the case should be thrown out of court.

Judge says there should be a full hearing to examine the arguments in more detail.
