Filomena Kyriacou fails to delay legal battle over unpaid loans on mental health grounds

·

Sydney accountant Filomena Kyriacou, previously mentioned in high-profile tax fraud cases, is now embroiled in a legal dispute with the Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA).

The bank is suing Kyriacou for more than $779,000, alleging she defaulted on a loan agreement entered into in 2015.

Kyriacou – who has been linked to convicted tax fraudsters Adam Cranston and George Alex but denies wrongdoing in those cases – claims her signature was forged on the financial documents related to the CBA loan.

Kyriacou attempted to delay the case, citing mental health issues, but her application was rejected by the Supreme Court.

Justice Nicholas Chen ruled the case should proceed immediately, emphasising that further delays could push the hearing into 2026.

Kyriacou was also ordered to pay the CBA’s legal costs for the application. The case continues.
