Bank’s application adjourned after developer collapses in court

AN application by Bank of Ireland for €11.75 million judgment orders against a Co Wicklow property developer arising from unpaid loans has been adjourned after the developer became ill in court and was taken to hospital by ambulance.

The full hearing of BoI’s action against George Wilkin, of Roselawn Green, Boghall Road, Bray, Co Wicklow, was listed for hearing before Mr Justice Seán Ryan at the Commercial Court yesterday, after talks between the sides had failed to resolve the issue.

However, shortly before the case was due to open, Mr Wilkin collapsed in court and required medical attention. An ambulance crew with the Dublin City Fire Brigade arrived on the scene within minutes and Mr Wilkin was taken to the Mater Hospital.
