Law Society calls for solicitor's firm to be shut down

The Law Society's Regulation of Practice committee is strongly opposed to solicitor's firm with a deficit of more than €6.3m being allowed to continue to trade any longer, the High Court has heard.

Today the President of the High Court Mr Justice Nicholas Kearns was informed that an independent accountant's report revealed that a proposal to repay the monies owed, including €1.5m left in a will to the Archbishop of Dublin, by legal firm Sean O'Ceallaigh and Co. was not viable.
