Former AIB manager consents to judgment of €37.1m against him

A former general manager of business banking with AIB has consented before the Commercial Court to entry of €37.2m judgment against him in favour of Nama over unpaid loans mostly issued for property investments.

Separate proceedings to decide if Thomas Hopkins is liable for further sums totalling more than €17m will be subject of full plenary hearings due to his raising arguable defences to those claims.

His wife is disputing liability for €11m loans.
