SAMUEL VAN EEDEN AND ZELDA VAN EEDEN secured a plenary hearing in the High Court on 5 April 2016 after AIB Mortgage Bank was refused summary judgment over a loan balance. The dispute concerns whether AIB’s proceedings were brought within the applicable limitation period.

Mr Justice Max Barrett held that the limitation defence raised an issue requiring a full hearing. The defendants may also raise other arguments in their defence, although the court rejected their other grounds at the summary stage.
