Delaney not complying with court order on seized documents, judge says
Summary
In a High Court hearing on 26 November 2021, Justice Leonie Reynolds found that former FAI chief John Delaney had not complied with a court order to provide the Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement (ODCE) with details of litigation he was involved in. Delaney's lawyers argued that he had complied as far as possible, citing time constraints and the ODCE's refusal to supply copies of documents needed for a review. The ODCE sought information to determine how many of the 280,000 documents seized from the FAI in February 2020 were protected by Legal Professional Privilege (LPP). Delaney claimed that about 900 items were covered by LPP, but the ODCE said he had only given generic descriptions of litigation. Justice Reynolds adjourned the matter to December, giving Delaney more time to comply with the order before the case could proceed further.
