Woman claims she signed pub purchase overdraft agreement under undue influence

A woman who claimed she signed an overdraft agreement in relation to the purchase of a pub with her late husband, under undue influence, is entitled to a full hearing of a fund's claim for judgment against her of around €1.4m, the High Court ruled.

Mary McCormack, from Balbriggan, Dublin, said she signed the guarantee documentation with her husband John because he was due to attend a kidney dialysis appointment that day.
