Insolvency practitioner ordered to pay two thirds of his fee in costs after giving misleading information about client's income
A personal insolvency practitioner who provided misleading information about the income of a man he was representing will have to pay €6,000 in legal costs, the High Court ruled. Tanager objected to the arrangement and also did so when Mr Rule asked the Circuit Court to confirm the arrangement. The Circuit Court rejected it and the High Court likewise rejected it following an appeal. Tanager then applied to the High Court for its legal costs arguing Mr Rule did not carry out adequate due diligence to establish Mr Varvari's income. This wholly unsatisfactory position was compounded by the appeal to the High Court, he said.
