The notice had not been complied with, and the building was described as a potential fire safety danger and a risk to the public. Lawyers for Ms Anne O'Dwyer, who had been appointed receiver of the property in March, sought vacant possession of the premises and an injunction against the owner, Mr Christopher Singh, and TWI Textile Machinery and Fabric Company Ltd, which partially occupies the site.
