Bank's €1.37m judgement order against Kildare man is set aside by court of appeal

The Court of Appeal has set aside, 'as a matter of right', a €1.37m judgement entered by Bank of Ireland against a man just weeks before it concluded an alternative repayment agreement with him for some loans.

The bank had not explained its inadvertent and “unusual” failure over some four years to serve the judgment on Patrick O’Brien or “even disclose its existence” to him, the three judge court noted.
