Court directs US businessman to provide sworn statement in hospital row
Summary
In a High Court case involving a dispute over shares in the Galway Clinic, a judge directed US‑based businessman and medical doctor Joseph Sheehan Senior to provide a sworn statement detailing the alleged sale of Blackrock Medical Partners Ltd (BMPL). The order was part of injunction proceedings brought by Marpole Ltd, BMD Investments Ltd and Parma Investments, who had secured a temporary injunction freezing BMPL's assets after the company allegedly owed them over €800,000 in legal fees. The three firms feared that funds received by BMPL from the sale of shares in the clinic might be dissipated. The judge, Ms Justice Teresa Pilkington, agreed to continue the freezing order, which prevents BMPL from transferring, dissipating or reducing its assets, and ordered Sheehan to swear an affidavit outlining the sale and the company's assets. The court also ordered BMPL to pay €800,000 on account, to be held until the legal fees are finalized.
