Woman challenges repossession order for D4 home
Summary
Patrica Tsouros has brought a High Court challenge against the County Registrar for Dublin, the Minister for Justice and Equality, Ireland, and the Attorney General, seeking to quash a repossession order granted to KBC Bank Ireland Plc regarding her Donnybrook home. Ms Tsouros alleges the order, made in November 2016, was issued without her solicitor being heard, as the registrar refused to listen to counsel who was not on record. She claims she was unaware of mortgage defaults until proceedings were served in 2015 and that her request for time to instruct counsel was denied, with the registrar stating there was no defence. The applicant argues this breach of fair procedure rendered the decision unreasonable and irrational. KBC Bank is a notice party. In these proceedings, Mr Justice Seamus Noonan granted permission to bring the challenge on an ex-parte basis. The matter was adjourned and made returnable to a date in March.
