The jailed solicitor argued that the orders to perfect title and aid a court sale of properties, found to have been sold to Michael Lynn in the 2000s without his legal interest being registered, risked prejudicing his upcoming appeal against his €18m theft conviction.

The former solicitor appeared remotely from prison to deal with a legacy civil case involving three of his properties. Last month, he dropped a Supreme Court appeal against his sentence for stealing circa €18m but still has an appeal against conviction pending.

The jailed ex-solicitor has engaged renowned human rights lawyer Darragh Mackin of Phoenix Law for his upcoming Supreme Court sentencing challenge. But Lynn has been dropped by his legal team in a separate looming legacy commercial suit, citing a breakdown in trust.

Ex-solicitor Michael Lynn was extradited from Brazil last year to stand trial on multimillion euro bank theft charges. The former lawyer fought his prosecution all the way to the Supreme Court, arguing the government had used unlawful means to secure his surrender.
