To unmask the tangled web of the Sean Quinn bankruptcy, I have been speaking with Dr David Capper (pictured above) of Queen’s University Belfast, a reader in commercial and corporate law.
In the wake of the procurement of a bankruptcy order in a Northern Ireland court earlier this year, Anglo Irish Bank is back in court today in Belfast to try and annul this order.

Dr Capper contends that there is a paucity of legal precedent for undoing a bankruptcy order of an individual.
