Gerry Ward apologised for contempt of High Court orders before Ms Justice Carmel Stewart on 13 March 2018, bringing an attachment and committal application to an end. The orders concerned interference with a receivership at Cedar Brook Avenue, Cherry Orchard, Dublin 10.

Mr Ward provided a sworn statement after previously being ordered to answer the contempt proceedings. The judge said his apology meant the application was at an end, and awarded Receiver Simon Coyle the legal costs of that application. Mr Ward continued to oppose the receiver’s appointment and said the wider receivership proceedings were unresolved.
