Supermarket chain Lidl Ireland has brought High Court proceedings over what it says was a flawed Aldi-commissioned price survey - High Court(Steve Parsons/PA)Supermarket chain Lidl Ireland has brought High Court proceedings over what it says was a flawed Aldi-commissioned price survey which put Lidl in second place. Aldi commissioned accountants Grant Thornton to carry out the survey in February 2018. Lidl claims the methodology of the survey was flawed because it did not, in several instances, compare like products with like products. The survey compared an average shopping basket containing 62 items in Aldi, Lidl, Tesco, SuperValue and Dunnes. He found the survey was not safe and sent it back to the CAI committee for further consideration.
