SOCIETY TO BE WOUND UP
SOLICITOR’S ACTION OVER COSTS
An order for the winding-up of the St. Mobhi Public Utility Society Ltd., Tongue Field, Sundrive Road, Kimmage, Dublin, was made in the High Court yesterday.
The application was presented by Miss Deverell (instructed by Mr. C. B. W. Boyle) on behalf of Mr. Charles B. W. Boyle, solicitor, 68 Middle Abbey Street, Dublin.
Mr. Boyle explained that the society’s share capital was £108, consisting of shares valued at £1 each. The society’s objectives included buying, selling, hiring, letting, or developing land; providing, erecting, reconstructing, improving, or managing houses for the working classes or others; and engaging in industries, trades, or the business of builders.
As solicitor to the society, Mr. Boyle obtained a final judgment for his costs on 22nd February. In April, judgment was entered against the society for £206 0s 9d (taxed) and £13 10s (costs), but no payments were made since. Miss Deverell noted that Mr. George Munro, accountant, Grafton Street, Dublin, had already been appointed as the provisional official liquidator.
Mr. H. J. Moloney, S.C. (instructed by Mr. Bernard Bernstein), representing the society, argued that a winding-up order would serve no useful purpose. He explained that the society had secured creditors for approximately £3,000. There were four mortgages on the property: £650, £300, £850, and £800. Additionally, there was a vendor’s lien for £200 in respect of taxed costs for unsold property.
The society had built several houses, with three sales currently in progress.
The application was supported by Mr. Maurice Walker (instructed by Messrs. William C. Hogan and Sons) on behalf of Messrs. Baxendale and Co., Ltd., Mr. Walter Molony (instructed by Mr. Michael Noyk) for Mr. L. Gruson, The O’Rahilly (instructed by Mr. Michael Dunne) for a house purchaser, Miss Laverty, solicitor, on behalf of two employees of the society, and Mr. Maxwell, solicitor, representing three judgment mortgagees.
Mr. Justice Johnston ordered the continuation of Mr. Munro as official liquidator.
