Galway Bay fm newsroom - A dispute between a Ballinasloe woman and her stepson over a €3.3 million winning lottery ticket has been resolved, the Court of Appeal has heard.
Mr Justice Richard Humphreys last year ruled that 67 year old Mary Walsh of Persse Park had to pay David Walsh €560,000 plus his legal costs after finding her stepson was a part owner of and entitled to a one-sixth share of a winning ticket purchased in Ballinasloe, Co Galway in January 2011.
Mrs Walsh appealed that decision, which was opposed.
According to the Irish Times, Dervla Brown SC for Mr Walsh told Ms Justice Mary Irvine this week that the matter had been “resolved entirely”.
She said it was agreed that the appeal be allowed and the orders of the High Court should be vacated except for the order dismissing the defendant’s counterclaim.
It was also agreed there would be no order for costs and the plaintiff’s High Court claim would be struck out.
No other details of the settlement were in given to the court.
