Baby joy delays Quinns’ legal case

The family of Sean Quinn will decide soon whether to appeal a decision in the case they are taking against IBRC and its special liquidator.

It emerged that the birth of a baby boy to Sean Quinn Jr and his wife yesterday has led to a delay in the Quinn family deciding whether to bring an appeal, which could delay the scheduled opening next month of their action aimed at avoiding liability for €2.34bn loans.

The birth of the child, the second boy born to the couple, was disclosed at a hearing to make final directions for the hearing of the case by Patricia Quinn and her five adult children, listed to open on June 3.
