Summary

Paul McGlade, a businessman who acquired a share in the Pygmalion Public House in 2013, has filed High Court proceedings against his fellow shareholders, brothers Jay and Tim Bourke, and the company Pygmalion Public House Ltd. McGlade alleges that he has been excluded from the premises and that the Bourke brothers have changed the locks to prevent his entry. He seeks injunctions to restore his management role and to stop the Bourkes from further restricting his access. The case, involving McGlade and two companies, Fellerim Ltd and Lintrath Holdings Ltd, was briefly addressed by Mr Justice Brian McGovern, who adjourned it to allow document exchange. The matter is scheduled for a hearing in July. The proceedings are pending a full trial.
