Decobake Ltd was put into liquidation because it was insolvent and following a failure to pay more than €70,000 in rates to Dublin City Council for its Bachelors Walk premises.
The High Court put the company into liquidation and appointed Mr de Lacy as liquidator in July 2017. The Coyles appealed and it was rejected. Further hearings followed, and in February 2020, the High Court dismissed Mr Coyle’s applications and said he had “set out to avoid, frustrate, hinder, impede and delay the liquidation of Decobake Ltd at every turn”.The liquidator said that, as a result of the numerous applications and motions by Mr Coyle, “significant legal costs” have been incurred and have substantially depleted any funds that would otherwise have been available to satisfy creditor debts.
Mr Coyle did not address the specifics of the Isaac Wunder application but sought to put in various other motions including seeking discovery, case management and an “entirely contrived” adjournment, he said.
