Case represented in material here relates to a Deportation order for Leopold and Maria Schollen to Belgium. Both arrived in Ireland ca. July 1983 and set up business as fine art dealers, auctioneers, and as cabinet maker (Leopold). Both had worked in Belgium prior as fine art dealers and were convicted of offences in relation to sale of forged paintings. Applied to Gardaí [Irish police force] for registration permits ca. Sep 1983 and were asked for passports which were in turn confiscated by Belgian authorities. Minister refused application for residence with no grounds given, and this was appealed. Assumption of Jerry Healy, Junior Counsel, is that in absence of extradition treaty between two countries, only way for Belgian police to get hands on Leopold and Maria Schollen was if they were deported, and Belgian police therefore influenced decision.

Extradition requested in November 1983 and refused January 1984, expulsion requested March 1984, Decision to Deport 16/04/1984, Injunction on Deportation May 1984 Judge Keane, High Court Hearing 25/06/1984, Application for Discovery March 1985, Order 12/03/1985, Mr. Justice Lardner, Application for Further and Better Discovery March 198[6?], Order 30/07/1986 Justice Gannon. As of 1990 seems to have remained up-in-the-air with neither party pushing it.
