Gayle Dunne bids to cross-examine lawyer of US case

The wife of bankrupt developer Sean Dunne wants to cross-examine a lawyer representing the official dealing with Mr Dunne’s bankruptcy in the US as part of her bid to halt Irish proceedings against her.

The proceedings arise over alleged invalid transfers to Gayle Dunne of various assets of her husband.

The assets include the transfer of a hotel in South Africa valued at more than €18m. The action has been brought by Chris Lehane, the official administering Mr Dunne’s Irish bankruptcy.
