I was involved myself in a case, not acting for a third-level institution, involving an incident in a college which went for a full six days hearing in the High Court. The case was appealed to the Supreme Court, which ordered a retrial, and it went back into the High Court for a further four days and then back into the Supreme Court again. The third-level college picked up the entire cost of it.
