Progress made over seized FAI documents

Summary

The High Court heard that progress has been made in the Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement's proceedings concerning documents seized from the FAI's offices on a search warrant. Former FAI chief executive John Delaney is a notice party because some documents may contain information private to him. The ODCE has applied to determine whether the seized documents are legally privileged; if so, they cannot be used in the investigation. The court will hear how the documents will be inspected later this month, a hearing expected to last less than an hour. An application to decide on legal privilege will be considered in July. Both Mr Delaney's counsel and the FAI's counsel consented to the proposed directions. The ODCE's applications are made under the 2014 Companies Act following the February 14 search of the FAI's Abbottstown offices.
