Codd claims he was coerced over bankruptcy

Two days before Christmas he secured his release from Mountjoy, where he had been following his arrest on foot of a warrant issued for his alleged non-compliance with the court appointed official in charge of his bankruptcy.
Yesterday when the matter returned before the High Court, Mr Justice Gerard Hogan was told by lawyers for Friends First Finance that Mr Codd had failed to comply with undertakings given to the court in December to return several items of machinery it leased to Mr Codd’s now-dissolved company, Paul Codd Ltd.
