Michael Fingleton appeals refusal to halt case against him over Irish Nationwide affairs

Up to 16 weeks have been provisionally set aside next year for a hearing of the appeal

Mr Justice Tony Hunt had last May refused Mr Fingleton’s (pictured) application to have dismissed, or permanently stayed, the action against him by the special liquidators of Irish Bank Resolution Corporation, which took over INBS after it collapsed.

Former Irish Nationwide Building Society (INBS) CEO Michael Fingleton is appealing against a High Court refusal to halt a case against him over alleged negligent mismanagement of the Society’s affairs.

Depending on the outcome of the appeal, the case was provisionally listed today to proceed in October next year. It is expected to run for several months if it proceeds.
