Farmer agrees to comply with order to vacate land

Summary

In a High Court hearing on 18 December 2018, Tom Morrin agreed to comply with orders to vacate 50 acres of land at Caragh, Naas, Co Kildare. He will surrender vacant possession, remove all machinery and livestock, and will not interfere with the receiver's agents, Mr Tom Kavanagh of Deloitte Ireland. The court had previously found that Morrin was in breach of orders issued in July 2017 and dismissed his applications to have the receiver's case dismissed as frivolous, vexatious and an abuse of process. Morrin also agreed not to appeal the 2017 decision and to withdraw his appeal against the orders. A stay on the orders will remain until February, when the matter will return to court. The receiver, appointed in 2013 by Bank of Scotland Ireland, had brought proceedings for Morrin's alleged contempt of the 2017 orders. The case involves ongoing disputes over possession and the use of the land.
