Michael O'Flynn loses challenge to costs of case against ex-business partner's PIA

Cork developer proves debt as a €1 creditor after Supreme Court win over John O’Driscoll’s personal insolvency arrangement

Property developer Michael O'Flynn said: "Firstly I have set out my personal family connection annoyance which I now know was not fully relevant. Secondly, I say there was a lack of understanding of the PIA process. I say I did not fully understand the strict timeline or procedure and this is the first PIA case that I have had."

Property developer Michael O’Flynn has failed in a bid seeking to have the legal costs of his High Court battle over the personal insolvency agreement of his former business partner John O’Driscoll paid by the personal insolvency practitioner (PIP) in the case.

But the legal battle between the Cork developer against the personal insolvency arrangement of Mr O’Driscoll who is the developer’s neighbour in Ovens, Co Cork, is set to continue.
