An application to have developer Thomas McFeely declared bankrupt has been adjourned at the High Court.
Mr McFeely denied he had been appropriately served with summons papers.
The application is being brought by Teresa McGuinness, of Rush, Co Dublin, who secured an award against Mr McFeely's Coalport Ltd in July 2009.
Ms McGuinness sued the company for attempting to sell her a house in Balrothery, Co Dublin, which had serious structural defects and was awarded €103,000 in damages.
She also claims she is owed €200,000 in costs arising from her 2009 court action.
Mr McFeely, the developer behind the controversial Priory Hall apartment complex in Donaghmede, did not attend court this morning.
At a hearing before Ms Justice Elizabeth Dunne, lawyers for Mr McFeely said there was an issue in relation to the service of summons papers.
Ms Justice Dunne said it appeared Mr McFeely had been served. She said she was not sure what basis he has for saying he has not been served.
She was asked by lawyers for Mr McFeely to allow three weeks for the developer to put his concerns in an affidavit.
However, Ms McGuinness sought a shorter adjournment, explaining: "I have my worries and concerns as to what's happening in the background."
Ms Justice Dunne then granted Mr McFeely two weeks to file an affidavit.
