John Condon was committed to prison for contempt of court by the High Court on 31 July 2015 after failing to pay €23,000 connected with two estates. The order allows his release once he purges the contempt by paying the amount required.

The judgment records that Condon had been ordered on 18 May 2015 to pay the money within seven days. The court found that his conduct, including repeated adjournments and what it described as blatant lies, seriously damaged public trust in the judiciary.
