Dispute over Dublin Docklands opens before Commercial Court
Summary
A dispute over ownership of parts of Dublin's south docks waterfront has been taken to the Commercial Court. Balark Investments, part of the Marlet Group, is developing a €100m commercial and residential project on the site and claims that Chambury Investment Company, linked to Johnny Ronan, is holding a freehold interest in land at Lime Street and Sir John Rogerson's Quay that is worth €20m. Balark says the Circuit Court has valued Chambury's interest at only €60,000 and that it must pay that amount to acquire the land. Chambury appeals the Circuit Court's decision and argues that Balark is not entitled to acquire the fee simple. Balark seeks a declaration that it may demolish the buildings on the disputed lands. The case is before Mr Justice Robert Haughton and is expected to continue into the new year.
