Application to extend Sean Dunne's bankruptcy opens
Summary
An application to extend Sean Dunne's Irish bankruptcy has been opened before the High Court. The Official Assignee, Mr Chris Lehane, seeks an extension on grounds that Dunne allegedly failed to provide information on assets he owned or controlled at the time of adjudication, did not supply his address, and did not attend required interviews until early 2016. The businessman, represented by Barra McGrory QC, denies these allegations and opposes the extension. The case involves cross‑examination of witnesses, including US lawyer Timothy Miltenberger, who confirmed Dunne's lack of cooperation with the US trustee. The application is being heard by Justice Caroline Costello and is expected to last several days. The bankruptcy, originally set to expire in July 2016, may be extended for up to five years pending the hearing's outcome.
