Bankrupt developer Thomas McFeely is seeking the legal costs of part of a High Court battle over the evacuated Priory Hall apartment complex in Dublin.

Mr McFeely, who was not in court yesterday, sought the costs of two days of hearings in the High Court in November 2011 which resulted in Mr Justice Kearns jailing him for three months and fining him €1 million for breaching an undertaking he gave the previous month in relation to the fire safety works at the apartment complex in Donaghmede.

He appealed that decision and last July the Supreme Court ruled he could not have been held to be in breach of his undertaking because he had been ordered off the site by the court.
