Quinn Family Win Preliminary Ruling Against IBRC
The High Court in Dublin has ruled that the family of Fermanagh-born businessman Sean Quinn can continue with their legal battle.
Mr Quinn’s wife and five children are challenging the demands made by the Irish Bank Resolution Corporation (IBRC) to repay loans totalling €2.3 billion.
The basis of the family’s case is that they allege Anglo Irish Bank lent them more than £2bn for the illegal purpose of increasing its own share price.
The court ruled that Patricia Quinn and the couple's five children were entitled to make arguments that the IBRC breached market abuse regulations and company legislation in its loans to the family, in their action against the bank.
The Background
Businessman Sean Quinn was declared bankrupt in the High Court back in January.
Mr Quinn had his bankruptcy status in Northern Ireland annulled days before this ruling and accepted the decision which was brought by the IBRC over debts of approximately €2bn.
The former billionaire is no longer bankrupt in the UK.
Mr Quinn's business empire collapsed over the past two years after bank shares he purchased became worthless.
