Court to rule: 'Lawlor has complied'
The High Court is expected to rule today that beleaguered Dublin TD Liam Lawlor has fully complied with an order made by the Flood Tribunal.
Last year, Mr Justice Fergus Flood ordered Mr Lawlor to provide the tribunal with all documents relating to his finances and his business dealings abroad.
However, Mr Lawlor failed to comply and spent one week in Mountjoy Prison for contempt of court.
Mr Lawlor was sentenced to three months, but the final 11 weeks were suspended on condition that Mr Lawlor hand over all the documents requested by the tribunal.
If he failed again, he would be returned to prison to finish his sentence.
Since January, the former Fianna Fail TD has been busy compiling documents about his dealings in London, Liechenstein, the Czech Republic and elsewhere.
The High Court heard on May 22 that Mr Lawlor has already delivered a huge volume of files to the tribunal.
The inquiry itself has spent the last number of weeks studying these to ascertain if they meet Justice Flood's requirements and the High Court is expected to confirm today that Mr Lawlor has now fully co-operated with the order.
