Ms Cawley’s brother Christopher Cawley and sister Susanna Cawley are seeking a declaration, under the Succession Act 1965, that Lillis had predeceased the deceased.

The action, brought on the grounds that due to his actions Lillis is an unworthy person to succeed his late wife, is aimed at ensuring Lillis loses his 50% interest in two homes, at Rowan Hill Howth and Tramway Court Sutton, as well as his interest in a number of joint bank accounts and bonds held by the couple.
