Forklift company that was locked out of business premises is granted injunction
Summary
Masterlift Ireland Ltd, a forklift company employing 35 people, secured a temporary High Court injunction from Mr Justice Paul Gilligan to regain access to its 60,000‑sq‑ft unit at Greenogue Business Park, Rathcoole, after being locked out by Royal Goldstein III Ltd (RGL). Masterlift had been leasing the premises since 2008 and claimed the lock‑out caused substantial disruption. RGL, newly owning the property following a receivership, had changed the locks without prior notice, allegedly threatening to clamp Masterlift vehicles and charge €1,000 for release. Masterlift's managing director, Dermot Carroll, received a call from a purported RGL employee stating Masterlift had no lease and that its vehicles were interfering with RGL's access. The injunction, granted ex‑parte, prohibits RGL from denying access, changing locks, selling property in the premises, or interfering with parked cars, and is returnable on Tuesday. The case remains at the interim injunction stage.
