Dispute between farmer and grower is resolved
Summary
In a High Court case in Co. Wexford, a dispute between John B. Dockrell Ltd and farmer Mr. John Kinsella over 150 acres at Lodgewood was resolved. The company had obtained an injunction after alleging that Kinsella had trespassed, blocked access with concrete blocks and vehicles, and illegally ploughed the land. Kinsella, who represented himself, contested the allegations and was later imprisoned for contempt of court. After a brief stay at Mountjoy Prison, he complied with the injunction. The parties reached a settlement, and the court granted orders preventing Kinsella and those acting with him from trespassing or obstructing the property, while allowing costs orders to be adjourned with permission to re‑enter if the orders were breached. The judge approved the settlement and the orders were granted.
