Two sisters of the deceased, Bernard Slean, had brought proceedings over the programme entitled First Timers on the Frontline after footage of their brother's body was included in one episode.

The sisters, Jennifer McCaffrey and Alison Lynch, claim there was a trespass on the flat which they own along with Bernard and a breach of privacy.

The sisters say the footage recorded by Alley Cat pixelated their brother's body as it lay on the apartment floor, but that other scenes identified the property from the outside.
