A man has failed to get High Court orders preventing the sale of his Spanish villa bought for €3m 14 years ago.

Joe Donovan sought the injunctions against a company which bought the mortgage loan for the villa, Calle Wagner, Sierra Blanca, Marbella, Malaga, from the National Assets Management Agency (Nama).
