A woman whose car dealer husband has been pursued for 10 years in efforts to recover a €4.97m tax judgment has been restrained by the High Court from interfering with a Revenue-appointed receiver’s efforts to sell lands owned by him.

A farmer has been jailed until next week pending a final decision by the president of the High Court on what sanction should be applied for contempt of his undertakings intended to prevent interference with a receiver’s efforts to sell lands in Co. Longford.

Two brothers are facing a possible return to jail next week over allegations of contempt of court orders not to interfere with a Revenue appointed receiver's efforts to sell lands and property as part of efforts to recover a €4.97m judgment against one of them over unpaid taxes.
