Gayle Dunne seeks cross-examination in asset transfer case

This report is a localnews.ie summary based on public court reporting and records; sources are listed below.

Gayle Dunne’s application to cross-examine a bankruptcy lawyer was adjourned in the Commercial Court on 27 October 2015. The application forms part of her effort to stop Irish proceedings concerning alleged transfers of assets, including the Lagoon Beach Hotel in Cape Town.

Dunne wants permission to question Milton Berger, who provided sworn statements on issues including US law for proceedings brought by Chris Lehane, the official administering Seán Dunne’s Irish bankruptcy. Lehane’s proceedings concern alleged agreements relating to assets in South Africa, Dublin and County Wicklow. The application was to resume the following month before Ms Justice Caroline Costello, with Lehane’s arguments still to be made.
