The High Court granted summary judgment to the plaintiff for the principal sum of €276,500, while the remainder of the claim concerning surcharge interest was remitted to plenary hearing. The defendant's request for an adjournment was denied due to insufficient grounds and a history of delays. The court found that the plaintiff had established a clear chain of title to the loan and that the defendant's various defences, including claims of invalid transfer, statute limitations, misapplication of sale proceeds, and lack of standing to enforce the credit agreement, were without merit. The defendant's application for inspection of original documents was struck out due to non-appearance.
