Judge orders hurler’s arrest over bankruptcy

A judge has ordered that All-Ireland winning former Wexford hurler Paul Codd be arrested and brought before the High Court for his on going refusal to co-operate with his bankruptcy.

Mr Justice Brian McGovern directed that a warrant for Mr Codd’s arrest be issued after the court was yesterday informed the Wexford hurler had not complied with undertakings, given last January, to meet with the court-appointed official in charge of his bankruptcy.

The High Court heard meetings which had been set up in relation to his bankruptcy were cancelled by Mr Codd via late-night emails and he may now be out of the jurisdiction.
