Landmark Supreme Court Decision involving Fitzwilton
Limited and Members of the Mahon Tribunal
On July 4th, 2007, the Supreme Court delivered a landmark decision
in proceedings involving our client, Fitzwilton Limited, and the
Members of the Mahon Tribunal.
The unanimous decision of the Supreme Court overturned a judgment
of the High Court, delivered in December, 2006. In its unanimous
decision the Supreme Court (per Judge Denham) held that the Mahon
Tribunal had not complied with its amended terms of reference and,
consequently, had no jurisdiction to proceed to hold a public hearing
in relation to the Fitzwilton Group's political contribution to
Fianna Fáil made in June, 1989.
Those in the firm involved in representing Fitzwilton Limited included
Managing Partner Hugh Garvey
and Associate Jill Callanan.
4 July, 2007.
