Jim Corr consents to €1.4m court orders against him

MUSICIAN Jim Corr has consented before the Commercial Court to €1.4 million summary judgment orders against him in favour of ACC Bank arising from an unpaid loan advanced to him and others in 2004 to buy lands at Gorebridge, Co Kilkenny.

Mr Justice Peter Kelly was told yesterday by the musician’s counsel, Ciaran Lewis, that Mr Corr would not be seeking to defend the bank’s claim and was consenting to summary judgment.

On the application of Bernard Dunleavy, for ACC, the judge entered judgment in the sum of €1,442,922, plus costs, against Mr Corr, who was not in court.
