High Court grants order to dismiss a claim against a bank, where it was shown on the pleadings to be frivolous and vexatious, on the grounds that: (a) the jurisdiction of the court where the sole object of an action was to obtain discovery was to be exercised sparingly; and (b) the action was based on an erroneous belief that a computer code, 2112210, represented the transfer of a sum of money, €2,112,210, transferred from Dublin to New York, which had been established in proceedings in the 1990s not to be the case.
Application to strike out claim - failure to disclose a reasonable cause of action - frivolous and vexatious - bound to fail - business established in New York by Irish emigrants - company established in Ireland - purchase of property - incorrect name on documentation establishing company in Ireland - new company formed - companies 'swapped names' - original company struck from register - family law proceedings in 1990s alleging fraudulent transfer of money - action struck out - application to restore company to the register - claim against bank for disclosure of records.
