Keith McNair’s appeal against a possession order was dismissed by the High Court on 23 March 2020. The case concerned a dwelling house and lands in County Sligo.

Mr McNair challenged the Circuit Court order made on 13 December 2016, raising several technical arguments about the mortgage and possession proceedings. The High Court held that Start Mortgages DAC was the registered owner of the charge and entitled to possession.

The possession order was affirmed, with execution stayed for six months from the judgment. Mr McNair was given liberty to apply for an extension if coronavirus emergency conditions continued.
