The High Court has given a Dublin solicitor, whose assets have been frozen amidst concern over his property dealings, a further two weeks to draw up an affidavit and a list of the properties that he owns.
Two weeks ago, the Law Society successfully applied to the High Court to freeze the assets of 39-year-old Michael Lynn.
A Law Society investigation in September into Mr Lynn's practices unearthed what was termed 'acts of dishonesty' in relation to his use of clients' money.
The President of the High Court, Mr Justice Richard Johnson, heard that Mr Lynn, of legal firm Capel Law, had changed solicitors since last week's hearing.
The court heard Mr Lynn had had a long consultation with his new solicitor since then and that they had agreed to appoint a forensic accountant to assist in their work.
But Mr Lynn's counsel, Paul Burns SC, said that while work on the list of properties that Mr Lynn has an involvement in was continuing, it was not complete.
He said Mr Lynn would also need access to his client files, seized by the Law Society, in order to complete the work.
Mr Burns also reiterated that his client wished to stress that he wishes to cooperate with the Law Society in this matter.
He applied for a two-week adjournment, which was granted by the High Court President, on the basis that Mr Lynn's undertaking to not work as a solicitor without court permission in the meantime still stood.
