Sean Dunne failing to comply with €7k per month order, bankruptcy official alleges
Summary
The High Court adjourned a motion that could see developer and businessman Sean Dunne jailed for alleged contempt of court. The Official Assignee, Mr Chris Lehane, claims Dunne has failed to comply with a 2018 order by Ms Justice Caroline Costello to pay €7,000 a month from 25 September 2018 to 25 May 2021 to increase assets for creditors. Mr Lehane has asked the court to compel Dunne to appear and answer the allegation of contempt. The matter was briefly heard before Ms Justice Teresa Pilkington. Mr Edward Farrelly SC, acting for the OA, said the OA intends to press ahead with an attachment and committal application. The judge allowed OBH Partners, Dunne's former legal representatives, to withdraw and provide Dunne's contact details to the OA. The case was adjourned for two weeks to see whether Dunne will secure new counsel or contest the proceedings himself.
