Ronan Ryan awarded costs in home repossession case

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

Ronan Ryan was awarded legal costs by the High Court on 25 October 2019 after challenging his home’s repossession. The case concerned his house on Mount Prospect Avenue, Clontarf. Mr Justice Garrett Simons had earlier set aside a Circuit Court possession decision favouring Tanager DAC. The judge also refused permission for Tanager to execute the repossession order or sell the property. Tanager argued both sides should pay their own costs because Ryan owed the fund significant money. However, the judge found no special circumstances justifying a departure from the ordinary rule. Ryan was therefore awarded costs for the Circuit Court hearing and High Court appeal.
