Lord George Magan (74) was not entitled to relief against forfeiture of Castletown Cox house in Kilkenny under landlord and tenant legislation, the Court of Appeal also found. Lord Magan had claimed Castletown was his secondary residence and his main home is in Cambridge Place, Kensington, London. He argued, among other things, information was put before the High Court by the Castletown Foundation was grossly misleading and loaded with innuendo. He argued the High Court erred in failing to enquire about a medical condition as he was unable to travel to Ireland for that hearing. She could find no basis to remit the matter to the High Court for trial on any of the issues he raised.
