The family of businessman Seán Quinn are seeking to amend their case against the former IBRC

The family of businessman Seán Quinn are seeking to amend their case against the former IBRC ahead of June’s scheduled hearing of the full liability case.  The High Court has heard they want to amend their case against the former Anglo Irish Bank in which they deny liability for €2.34 billion in loans to Quinn Group-related companies.

The application to amend follows last month’s Supreme Court decision granting an appeal by Anglo’s successor, IBRC, and its liquidator Kieran Wallace, concerning the entitlement to make certain claims in the case.  A second application by IBRC for directions in relation to the case had been brought as a result of that decision.

The applications will be heard in early May.
