Nothing can happen until the amended statement of claim is filed, he said. On Wednesday, barrister Fiona Forde, for O’Byrne, said her client was to issue an amended statement of claim. Paul Gallagher, counsel for O’Connor Sutton Cronin, said the amended statement was supposed to have been issued a year ago and he had “never encountered” anything like this. He said his client was concerned that when they receive the amended statement, the nature of the claim might have changed completely. Hugh O’Keeffe, counsel for Copper Bridge, said his side had been looking for the amended statement and wanted the case expedited.
