High Court judge’s ruling could affect conduct of marathon litigation by the five children
, could significantly affect the conduct of the marathon litigation by the five children, dating back to 2011, denying any liability for a total €415 million under guarantees.
The 20 include several former senior officers of Anglo, including Lar Bradshaw, Tom Browne and Lorcan McCluskey, and an economist, Dr Constantin Gurdgiev. After Bernard Dunleavy SC, for the Quinns, said they are still trying to persuade some reluctant persons to give evidence, the judge said they could seek permission to add others if necessary.Brenda Quinn was due to begin her evidence on Friday but that was deferred after the judge was asked to to hear procedural applications.
The children had known about their father’s alleged undue influence for 10 years, never sought to join him as a defendant and, until the case opened, their claim was Anglo exercised undue influence over them in relation to the signing of the securities, he said. Permitting them now to allege their father was the “primary wrongdoer” radically changed the case to be met.
