Lukasz Salamandra, a self-proclaimed property mogul, was disqualified for 15 years. Salamandra claimed his Athboy company owned millions in real estate assets. In fact, it owned nothing. The convicted fraudster is now prohibited from serving as a company director for 15 years.
Precedent for directorship disqualification is usually capped out at a 10-year ban, which is reserved for only the most egregious cases. Yet Cunningham made the eventually successful plea for a 15-year prohibition due in part to Salamandra’s history.
Judge Quinn agreed with Barrister Cunningham’s case for an extended disqualification, approving the 15-year duration, and later ruled that Salamandra was liable for the applicant’s legal costs.
Peter Boyle and Co Solicitors are delighted to be part of such a historic verdict. Fifteen years is one of the longest disqualifications ever given to a director in the history of the state.
