Photograph: Bryan O’Brien/The Irish TimesThe High Court has ordered a Co Carlow couple who unjustly enriched themselves with monies loaned to them by an English businesswoman to pay her more than €800,000 in damages
She claimed Mr Buckley convinced her to advance him loans to pay tax bills, including a payment to Revenue that Mr Buckley had claimed were about to repossess the equestrian centre. Mr Justice Kennedy noted that the claim was not contested by the defendants, with an address at Hillview Stables, Ballymoon, Bagenalstown, Co Carlow.
She alleges the defendants befriended her, convinced her to invest in a broader set of ventures than originally planned, before exploiting her desire to breed and train horses.
