Former FAI CEO John Delaney set to be hit with massive legal bill

Former FAI CEO John Delaney has been ordered to pay the bulk of legal costs of his battle over documents seized from the FAI by the corporate watchdog.

She also granted costs against him in relation to his separate failed application to have the privilege issue heard by the court in private as Mr Delaney had claimed they would affect family law proceedings. Paul McGarry SC, for Mr Delaney, urged that both sides pay their own costs because ultimately no final order was made by the court in relation to the in camera application.

The judge was also told by Patrick Gageby BL, for the FAI, that his client was concerned Mr Delaney was trying to go behind another order of the court where privilege over certain association documents was granted. "They are simply out of my hands at this stage but there are avenues open to your client", she told Mr Gageby.

The ODCE brought proceedings against the FAI in which it sought certain orders allowing it to examine the documents as part of its ongoing probe.
