Popular D4 eatery takes action to reopen

Summary

Bel & Bellucci Ltd, operating an Italian restaurant on the ground floor of the Sweepstakes Centre at Ballsbridge, secured a High Court injunction on 16 May 2018 to prevent its landlord, Knockanore Properties, and the security company K-Tech Security from interfering with the premises. The injunction was granted by Ms Justice Caroline Costello after the landlord took possession of the property on Wednesday morning without prior notice, citing alleged historic rent arrears of over €140,000. The restaurant, represented by Dylan West Bl, argued the matter was urgent and that the landlord's forfeiture notice issued in April was disputed and waived because the company had continued to make full rental payments. Mr Robbie Fox, a director of Bel & Bellucci, claimed the illegal repossession caused financial and reputational damage, forcing staff to be sent home and disrupting customer reservations.
