This report is a localnews.ie summary based on public court reporting and records; sources are listed below.

Bank of Scotland Plc secured partial orders in the High Court of Ireland requiring trustees of Victory Christian Fellowship to disclose assets, income, liabilities and third-party legal-cost funding. The decision was given by Donnelly J.; the proceedings were reported on 17 December 2014.

The court said the disclosure must include the identity and extent of third-party funding, related documents concerning Victory Conference Centre Ltd., and information to assist enforcement of a judgment. The defendants accepted that the Bank could examine them only as VCF trustees, but disputed prior-disclosure jurisdiction and argued that donations came from former congregation members with charitable intent. The motions were granted in part, with the timing to be agreed with counsel.
