In a vacation application to the court, Mr Kelleher, and Peter Griffin, of Sandyford Business Centre, Dublin 18, trustee to the Woodfield Pension Trust , successfully sought an order from Ms Justice Eileen Roberts for the appointment of an administrator, solicitor Fiachra Baynes, to act as a defendant in a case they wish to take against the late solicitor’s estate.
In an affidavit, solicitor Owen Swaine of Swaine Solicitors, for the pension fund, said he understood the applicants may not be the only creditors with a claim against the law firm and referred to a press report that the Revenue Commissioners may be pursuing the law firm, the affairs of which involve “a €1.7 million hole”.
Ms McGoldrick was represented in court by Niall Fahy BL. Mr Kelleher was represented by Eanna Mulloy SC. The court was told the applicants are also seeking “unliquidated damages” or damages that would be decided by a court. Mr Murray said a number of transactions on the client account had nothing to do with WPT or Mr Kelleher.
