No-show boss of collapsed charities firm on "gap year", counsel quips
Summary
In February 2020, lawyers for liquidator Myles Kirby of the collapsed charities firm Pembroke Dynamic sought to progress proceedings against businessman Peter Conlon, who had been absent from a scheduled inspection of documents. Conlon, previously convicted of embezzlement and serving time in Zurich, had been residing in the South of France and was now reportedly in Munich. The liquidator's counsel, Gerard Meehan, indicated that Conlon had not responded to discovery requests and was "currently on a gap year." Kirby had secured a High Court injunction freezing Conlon's assets, including bank accounts, valued at €3.8 million, and was seeking to hold Conlon personally liable for the company's debts. Conlon's solicitor, Robert Dore, confirmed his client's presence in Munich, his financial hardship, and his intention to attend the February 21 inspection. The court noted that if Conlon failed to attend, the matter would simply move on, with the case scheduled to return later that month.
