FUGITIVE SOLICITOR Michael Lynn is unable to give evidence tomorrow by video-link in a multi-million euro lawsuit because he has the flu, the High Court has heard. Mr Lynn may be rescheduled to give evidence on November 3rd if he provides a doctor’s certificate to show he is ill.

Last July, the High Court ruled that Mr Lynn – who is missing with fraudulent mortgage debts of more than €80 million and faces immediate arrest if he returns to Ireland – may give evidence from abroad by video-link in a case being taken by the Cunningham Group against First Active over loans issued for a number of major developments.
