Michael Lowry to foot bill of tax trial

Last February, Mr Justice Seamus Noonan rejected his judicial review challenge to his trial. He found Mr Lowry had “conspicuously declined” to engage with the €372,000 transaction of 2002 at the heart of the case.
He also disagreed with Mr Lowry’s argument a 2015 Appeal Commissioners determination of his tax appeal was a “vindication” of him in light of which continuation of the tax prosecution was oppressive.
