Van driver faces €13k in unpaid tolls

A van driver has brought an action to set aside a court judgement which found him liable for €13,000 in unpaid M50 toll charges.

Simon Parsons of New Haven Bay, Balbriggan, Co Dublin, had been the subject of a Dublin District Court ruling in October following an action by the National Roads Authority (NRA). His car was also seized and sold on as a result of the order.

He was not present to defend the case in October leading to a judgement in default amounting to €13,208 plus €1,004 in legal costs.
