Court hears British peer is occupying Kilkenny mansion in "calculated strategy" to delay sale
A British life peer in dispute with a trust over his occupation of one of Ireland's finest Georgian mansions is engaged in an "orchestrated and calculated strategy" to delay the completion of the sale of the property, the Commercial Court heard.
Lord George Magan, who lives in Kensington, London, and once owned the Georgian Castletown Cox and its 513-acre estate in Kilkenny, is due in Kilkenny Circuit Court tomorrow to argue he is entitled to continue on as a tenant of the mansion.
