Judge: Failure to make disclosures 'sufficient' to rescind Quinn bankruptcy

Former tycoon Sean Quinn could be effectively barred from relaunching his business career after a Belfast court ruled today that his bankruptcy should be dealt with in Dublin.

In his judgment, Mr Justice Donal Deeny said that failure to disclose some facts, such as the fact he held an Irish passport, was sufficient ground to rescind the bankruptcy order, had he not already decided to annul it on the grounds that Mr Quinn’s centre of main interests was outside the North.
