The estimates before today were for total costs of between €1million and €1.25 million. Today's judgment appears to have moved the costs into a higher band.

In reality nobody knows what the direct costs may be - but this can all be summed up as a combination of (a) losing the case, (b) pissing off the judge, (c) calling into question your bone fides in taking the case, (d) paying everybody's costs, (e) paying penal costs IN ADDITION.

HOWEVER, for anyone who thinks it is over, look at the history - there may well be an act of vindictiveness to follow this, aimed against some individual or organisation. So those of you in congratulatory mode might like to pause and think about that.
