The judge in charge of the Commercial Court has criticised the standard of paperwork coming from banks who are pursuing people for large sums of money.
Mr Justice Peter Kelly said the standard of paperwork from banks seeking judgment for large sums of money was 'very slipshod' and 'very sub-standard'.
He made his remarks while dealing with a number of cases seeking admission to the Commercial Court list.
In the first case, ACCBank was seeking judgment for €7m against a client on foot of guarantees. The judge said the guarantees had not been put before the court by the bank and he refused to admit the case to the list.
In the second case, Bank of Scotland Ireland was seeking judgment for €2m. The judge said the guarantees exhibited in this case were undated, and some of the documents submitted also had the wrong date for when a demand was made for the money. He also refused to admit this case to the list.
Date set for Anglo's Drumm hearing
Meanwhile, an action by Anglo Irish Bank to recover €8.3m from its former CEO David Drumm will be heard at the end of October. The Commercial Court has set October 26 as a date for the full hearing to begin.
A second action by the bank against Mr Drumm and his wife Lorraine Drumm over the transfer of the former family home in Malahide into Mrs Drumm's name is to be heard immediately afterwards.
