Jackie Lavin's action against partner Bill Cullen adjourned for "talks"
Summary
Jackie Lavin's High Court action against her partner, Bill Cullen, and Glencullen Properties Ltd was adjourned to facilitate talks between the parties. The case, listed before Mr Justice Paul Gilligan on Wednesday, concerns an alleged failure to complete a €1m deal for the sale of Killegy House in Co Kerry to Ms Lavin. Ms Lavin, of Osberstown House, Naas, claims she agreed to advance €1m to reduce Glencullen's liabilities in exchange for the property, which she describes as her home. She seeks specific performance of the sale and an order prohibiting the defendants from selling the house to others. Glencullen Properties, in which Mr Cullen is the sole shareholder and a director, denies all claims. The company acknowledges the €1m advance but disputes that it was part of an agreement to sell Killegy House to Ms Lavin. The matter was adjourned and is due to be mentioned before the court on Thursday morning.
