Former solicitor Michael Lynn fails to get reporting restriction in civil case

The judge did prohibit the use of a photo of the former solicitor in which Mr Lynn was pictured close-arm linked to two plain clothes gardaí

Former solicitor Michael Lynn has failed to get a High Court order prohibiting references to his forthcoming criminal trial in press reports of a separate civil case relating to an application to replace him as trustee of a Dublin apartment.

Mr Lynn (52) holds in trust the property at The William Bligh block of the Gasworks apartment complex in Barrow Street.
