Wexford man will be jailed if he fails to abide by court order
Summary
In a High Court case in Co Wexford, Judge Leonie Reynolds gave Arthur O'Neill a week to decide whether he would comply with an injunction that prohibits him from entering or interfering with a property in receivership at Askinvillar Upper, Kiltealy, Enniscorthy. The injunction, issued by Mr Justice Senan Allen in March, was described by the judge as "crystal clear" and "written in plain language." O'Neill, who represented himself, argued that the order did not reflect Justice Allen's statements and raised questions about alleged leases on the property. John Kennedy BL, counsel for receiver Mr Ken Fennell, said no valid leases existed. Reynolds rejected O'Neill's arguments, stating there were no errors in the order, and warned that failure to comply could result in jail. She granted an adjournment to allow O'Neill to arrange his affairs and urged him to seek legal advice before the matter returns to court.
