Clemac secures injunction in Bluebird Care dispute

This report is a localnews.ie summary based on public court reporting and records; sources are listed below.

Clemac Home Care Services secured a temporary injunction at the High Court on 13 November 2019, restraining Bluebird Care Franchises from ending their agreement. The order concerned the purported termination of the May 2014 Master Licence Agreement governing the Bluebird Care brand in Ireland.

The injunction was granted ex parte after Mr Justice Tony O’Connor was told Clemac faced allegations of misconduct, which the company denied. The judge found that a strong case had been made out, damages would not be an adequate remedy and the balance of convenience favoured the order.

The matter was returned to the following week.
