FitzPatrick to be quizzed over ownership of office block

Former Anglo Irish Bank chairman Sean FitzPatrick is to face a cross-examination in the Bankruptcy Court in the new year about a high rise office block in London.

The court official in charge of Mr FitzPatrick’s bankruptcy, Chris Lehane, plans to question Mr FitzPatrick over ownership of the Woolgate Exchange in London.

Lawyers representing Mr FitzPatrick, in separate criminal proceedings, had previously argued that the examination of their client in the Bankruptcy Court could prejudice the criminal case. They had asked the court to adjourn any cross-examination until the criminal case has been completed.
