Residents in dispute with Mansfield family over management company
Summary
In a High Court case, residents of Coldwater Lakes, Saggart, Rathcoole, Dublin, argue that Burnella Cottage Ltd., a management company set up by the Mansfield family in 2002 to oversee the estate's common areas, failed to perform its duties and did not collect management fees. They claim they should be members of Burnella so they can manage the common areas, asserting that they have been paying the costs themselves for years. The residents say the company's directors—James Mansfield Junior, Patrick Mansfield, and Anthony Mansfield—intentionally disregard residents' interests and aim to appropriate the common areas. The defendants deny the allegations, stating the residents lack standing as they are not members or directors of Burnella and that the residents do not have good marketable title to their properties. A preliminary motion was heard by Ms Justice Leonie Reynolds, who adjourned the case to November after the defendants requested time to consider the matter.
