Restaurant directors in contempt of court for not filing accounts, judge told

The official liquidator to the former operator of the Unicorn restaurant has told the High Court the firm’s directors are in contempt of court for failing to file outstanding accounts with the Companies Registration Office.

Yesterday, John Kennedy, counsel for Myles Kirby, the liquidator of Vino Classico Ltd which ran the Dublin restaurant, said directors Pia Bang Stokes and Georgio Casari had not complied with an order to file the firm’s annual returns for the years 2010 to 2012.

The order was made in September 2013. In May, the court gave the directors an additional four months to comply. Mr Kennedy yesterday told Mr Justice Paul Gilligan the directors still have not filed the accounts.
