A retired solicitor, formerly employed by one of Ireland’s leading law firms, successfully prevented a debt‑collection firm from repossessing his €800,000 home on Mount Venus Road, Rathfarnham. Although mortgage lender EBS obtained a court order for possession in 2009, it failed to act on it, and the loan was later sold in 2021 to Mars Capital Finance Ireland DAC, which then sought to enforce the order to recover roughly €560,000 in unpaid mortgage debt. The solicitor argued that the lenders unreasonably delayed executing the original order, and the judge noted that the reasons for the 17‑year delay were not fully explained, ultimately blocking the firm’s possession bid.
