Photograph: Collins CourtsProperty developer Michael O’Flynn is back before the High Court for another round in his objection to the personal insolvency arrangement (PIA) of his former business partner and neighbour John O’Driscoll. The developer is objecting to the O’Driscoll PIA coming into effect, and wants the Circuit Court decision to be set aside. In the PIA, O’Flynn’s debt was listed as a contingent liability and given a nominal value of €1, because he had not proved it during the PIA process. With the issues that have now arisen, there is an issue of trust and faith in the personal insolvency system,” he said. Two years ago a five-judge Supreme Court held that Mr O’Flynn’s objection to the PIA should be heard by the High Court.
