Couple sues Dolmen for €1m

A COUPLE and their company have sued Dolmen Stockbrokers for more than €1 million losses allegedly incurred through unauthorised use of the plaintiffs’ securities trading accounts to enter into transactions for Dolmen’s own benefit.

It is further alleged the stockbrokers failed to provide indemnities.

Patrick Purcell claims he agreed to enter into a series of transactions between 2006 and 2008 on behalf of the plaintiffs as a result of emotional pressure and/or undue influence placed upon him by Dolmen director Stephen Tynan.
