Sarah is the managing editor of a prestigious national newspaper, The Chronicle. The newspaper has a large team of journalists covering various beats, including investigative reporting. One of the senior investigative journalists, Alex, has been working on a high-profile story regarding alleged corruption in a government agency. After months of investigation, Alex publishes an extensive article in The Chronicle, implicating several high-ranking officials in the government agency in corrupt practices.

In 2005 Leather Products Ltd. obtains a loan from the Lucan branch of AIB for €1 million. This loan is secured by a floating charge over the company’s factory premises. The debenture creating the charge is drawn up and, on the 10th February, 2005, it is signed by all parties. However, it is not dated and, due to inadvertence, is not registered with the CRO at that time. On the 15th February, 2006, Brendan, the manager of the Lucan AIB branch, discovers the undated debenture and inserts the 15th February, 2006 as the date of creation of the charge. The charge is then registered in the CRO within 21 days of this new date having been inserted. A certificate of registration duly issues which states that the date of creation of the charge is the 15th February, 2006. In the interim, the company obtains another loan of €200,000 from the Clondalkin branch of Bank of Ireland. The company creates a further floating charge over the factory premises in favour of Bank of Ireland as security for this loan. This charge is created by way of debenture on the 3rd May, 2005 and Bank of Ireland registers it in the CRO the next day and a certificate of incorporation issues. However, a typographical error on the debenture has resulted in the date of creation of the charge being recorded on the certificate as the 30th May, 2005, rather than as the 3rd May, 2005. The company has since defaulted on its loans. James, the manager of the Clondalkin branch of Bank of Ireland, wants to appoint a receiver pursuant to the terms of the debenture. However, he is concerned that an issue may arise regarding the validity of the receiver’s appointment due to the fact that the charge was created on a different date to that set out on the certificate of registration. He has heard that an application can be made under s.106(1) of the 1963 Act to allow for rectification of this error. He has also been approached by Brendan who informs him that AIB’s floating charge over the premises was created before the floating charge was created in favour of Bank of Ireland. Advise James.
