TWO couples have secured a six-month stay on a judgment for €3.27 million obtained against them by ACC Bank over an unpaid property loan after a High Court judge said he was “sympathetic” to their fears.

A HIGH Court judge has asked the DPP to examine alleged forged signatures on loan documents of ACC Bank plus a “fictitious” P60 in the bank’s files certifying a much higher rate of pay for a retired Garda in a case where the bank yesterday secured judgment for €3.27 million against the retired Garda and three others.
