Mr Justice Smyth will rule in Mr Liam Lawlor's contempt case on Monday morning.
Describing the High Court hearing as one of "considerable gravity" Mr Justice Smyth said he wished to have time to consider arguments from Mr John Rogers SC for Mr Lawlor and Mr Frank Clarke SC for the Flood tribunal.
Earlier in his closing submission Mr Clarke said that of 2,120 pages of evidence Mr Lawlor had submitted to the Flood tribunal 2,000 were copies of documents the tribunal had already obtained through the banks.
According to Mr Clarke, Mr Lawlor had telephoned financial institutions, requested copies of the documents the tribunal had already requested and then sent the copies he obtained to the tribunal.
In these circumstances, said Mr Clarke, Mr Lawlor had not complied with the order of October 24th last and it could be argued Mr Lawlor was not trying to help the tribunal.
"His affidavit," said Mr Clarke "to quote Mr Rogers [Mr Lawlor's counsel] was 'only a bit of an affidavit'."
Yesterday Mr John Rogers SC said any move to jail the Dublin West TD would be unwarranted as a result of the steps he had taken to answer questions and provide it with information.
Referring to the transcript of Mr Lawlor's evidence before the tribunal over four days last month and affidavit evidence from his client, Mr Rogers said yesterday it was clear his client was seeking to comply with the court's orders.
He rejected a submission that there was a deliberate breach of the orders.
