Finbar Tolan lost his High Court damages action over alleged breach of a cattle credit agreement, with the judgment reported on 19 May 2015. The case concerned dealings with Connaught Gold Co-op Society, now called Aurivo, involving cattle marts at Balla and Ballinrobe.

The court dismissed the action on all grounds. It found that a document concerning the dealings was a work in progress rather than a legally binding contract, while a separate €154,000 judgment obtained by the co-op had been appealed.
