Retired lorry driver settles action over application for compensation with Law Society

A 84-year-old retired lorry driver has today resolved his legal action over the Law Society's refusal to compensate him for more than €500,000 after his daughter, a solicitor, allegedly misappropriated money from the estate in which he was the main beneficiary.

Larry Quinn, with an address at Montrose Park, Perrystown Dublin was seeking orders from the High Court including one quashing the Law Society's Regulation of Practice Committee's decision not to grant him a payment from the Law Society's Compensation fund.
