Supreme Court won't hear Ben Gilroy's bid to halt possession of home

Summary

The Supreme Court declined to hear Ben Gilroy and his wife Sarah Jane Gilroy's appeal against a possession order granted to Start Mortgages DAC for their Navan home. The Court found no point of general public importance had been raised. The Gilroys had argued that a fraud had occurred involving the lender and a solicitor, and that changes had been made to the mortgage documentation. The Circuit Court rejected these claims, finding them farfetched and unsupported, and the High Court confirmed the absence of evidence for fraud. The Gilroys sought a priority hearing and referral to EU courts, but the Supreme Court held that their due‑process rights had been fully addressed in lower courts and that it could not revisit the earlier findings. The application was dismissed by a panel of three judges, including Mr Justice Peter Charleton, Mr Justice Seamus Woulfe and Mr Justice Brian Murray.
