Developer Liam Carroll has consented to summary judgment for about €44m being entered against him at the Commercial Court in favour of the National Asset Management Agency and Bank of Scotland.
The €44m sum, arising from unpaid loans and guarantees, is made up of some €30.7m in favour of NAMA and about €13.1m in favour of Bank of Scotland.
Mr Justice Peter Kelly also today entered summary judgment for some €32m against the developer's wife, Mrs Róisín Carroll, over some of the same loans.
Mr Carroll, Sycamore Crescent, Mount Merrion, Dublin, was the founder of the Zoe group of building companies which collapsed in 2009 with massive debts.
Declan McGrath, representing Bank of Scotland, said Mr Carroll had been co-operating with Bank of Scotland in its efforts to realise secured assets to meet debts owed and the bank was only applying for summary judgment because other creditors had begun to move against Mr Carroll.
A solicitor for Mr Carroll and his wife said they were consenting to summary judgment in the amounts sought by the bank and the judge entered summary judgment for about €13.1m in favour of Bank Of Scotland against Mr Carroll and for some €2.75m against Mrs Carroll.
NAMA separately sought summary judgment for about €30.7m against Mr Carroll and his wife and their solicitor said they were consenting to summary judgment in that case also.
