Stephen Bedford refused stay on contempt jail order

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

Stephen Bedford was refused a stay on a 14-day contempt-of-court jail order by the Court of Appeal on 4 June 2015. The order followed his failure to leave properties at Lower Grangegorman and North Brunswick Street in Dublin.

Mr Justice Peter Kelly ruled that Mr Bedford had established no grounds for a stay pending his appeal. The High Court order required him to leave, undertake to comply with court orders and apologise before the contempt could be purged. The properties were being sold by a Nama-appointed receiver towards repayment of a €21.9 million debt.

This case may have concluded differently. The outcome has not yet been confirmed by a public source we could find.
