Law firm settles €3.3m costs bill with developer

DUBLIN-based law firm William Fry has settled its legal action against developer Liam Carroll over his failure to pay €3.3 million of a €4.8m legal costs bill.

The bill was in connection with an unsuccessful action against Mr Carroll and others over controversial deals concerning the redevelopment of The Square shopping centre in Tallaght.

The Commercial Court previously heard Mr Carroll was contending the bill was excessive and had instructed other solicitors to bring a complaint about it to the Law Society.
