The High Court has varied a freezing order made against retired businessman Peter Conlon and former boss of collapsed charities fundraising service Pembroke Dynamic and two related entities. The variation was made to allow Mr Conlon discharge a sum of just over €40,000 in legal fees. Mr Conlon (67), who the court heard has incurred considerable legal fees, sought the order so he could pay his lawyers. The Judge’s ruling was made in advance of the hearing of proceedings brought by Mr Kirby against Mr Conlon, which is listed for hearing later this month. In his action against the businessman, Mr Kirby seeks various orders, including making Mr Conlon personally liable for the company’s debts.
