Receivers claim bid to sell Dublin lands being frustrated

Summary

In November 2018 the High Court heard a claim by joint receivers Stephen Tennant and Nicholas O'Dwyer of Grant Thornton, appointed over about 27 acres at Coney Hill, Ballbriggan, to prevent the sale of the land. The receivers alleged that the landowner John Walls Senior, his son John Walls Junior and Fingal Target Sporting Club were attempting to frustrate the sale by obstructing access. Temporary injunctions were granted requiring the Walls and the club to remove any vehicle or obstacle from entrances and exits and to surrender vacant possession to the receivers. The receivers said they feared the sale agreement, entered in mid‑October, could be lost due to the defendants' alleged unlawful actions. They also sought a judgment of €1.4 million against Mr Walls Senior for failing to repay a loan secured by the land. The injunction was granted ex‑parte by Justice Teresa Pilkington and is returnable next week.
