The Criminal Assets Bureau (Cab) and the Garda fraud bureau have obtained documents from the Law Society in relation to Dublin solicitor Thomas Byrne, the High Court has heard.

Mr Byrne was last week ordered by the Commercial Court to repay €2 million to IIB Homeloans.

Mr Justice Peter Kelly granted summary judgment to IIB for €2,036,749 against Mr Byrne, whose practice, Thomas Byrne & Company, Walkinstown Road, Dublin, has been closed by the Law Society.

Mr Byrne did not contest the application for judgment, which related to loans made to him from 2003.
