Proceedings against Ivor Callely over €2.9m debt admitted to fast-track Commercial Court

A High Court judge today said he was satisfied former Junior Minister Ivor Callely had taken steps to evade service of court proceedings relating to an action by a finance company suing him over €2.9m outstanding on loans.

Mr Justice David Barniville admitted the case to the fast-track Commercial Court list and said it was quite clear Mr Callely was aware of the court proceedings.
