E68 The Fifth Court

Winner Dublin Solicitors' Bar Association Legal Podcast of the Year

Hosts Peter Leonard BL and Mark Tottenham BL discuss some of the biggest and best known Irish corporate law cases with one of the Big Beasts in corporate law in Ireland, solicitor and Senior Counsel Paul Egan, who has the most fascinating background in theatre, music and music composition. There's even mention of Mike Oldfield, of Tubular Bells fame. We doubt if you knew that about this seriously eminent lawyer?

Paul's choice of books for listeners are 'Barbarians at the Gate' and 'Servants of the Damned'. He also recommends the movie 'Wall St.'.

Peter and Mark also tackle three recent high profile cases from the Decisis casebook.

• A case involving the signing of a bond in reference to a suspended sentence. But the case got a bit more complicated than that when the accused left court without having signed the bond.
• A second case involving a family law issue and an overseas bankruptcy that could have a direct bearing on the family law hearing.
• Finally, a planning case involving the granting of a planning permission for a Strategic Planning Development and An Bord Pleanála
