Liverpool Champions League Winner Facing Bankruptcy After Multi-Million-Pound Row
Former Liverpool player Steve Finnan faces bankruptcy over unpaid legal costs under £50,000 after nearly a decade of disputes stemming from a multi-million pound property row with his brother.
- At Central London County Court, former Liverpool and Republic of Ireland defender Steve Finnan faces a bankruptcy petition over a five-figure costs order under 50,000. The case concerns unpaid legal costs linked to a dispute with his brother.
- Steve Finnan's long-running dispute with his brother led to a property business set up around 2016 souring, with Finnan winning a £4m High Court settlement in 2018 but not receiving the money as Sean was declared bankrupt in July 2019.
- The petition was moved and District Judge Carla Revere issued directions in June, after which the High Court rejected Finnan's appeal as `delaying` and `hopeless`.
- The court indicated the petition will continue and will be the subject of further directions after Mr Justice Mellor refused permission to appeal, certified it as without merit, and the cancelled September final hearing postponed resolution.
- Having played more than 50 times for Ireland, Finnan's legal troubles include auctioning memorabilia and a failed 6m negligence claim, adding public interest.
