Beacon residents don't have right of access to hotel, judge rules
Summary
In a High Court ruling on 23 July 2019, Mr Justice Allen dismissed a claim by Beacon One Management Company Ltd, which represents about 70 apartments in Block E of the Beacon Court development, against Beacon Leisure Investments Ltd, the operator of the Beacon Hotel in Sandyford Business Park. The management company had alleged that the hotel's owners had denied residents access to the hotel through interconnecting doors in the shared corridors, a practice that had existed for over a decade and allowed residents to use the hotel's gym. After the hotel changed hands in 2016, the new operator notified residents that direct access would be stopped except in emergencies. The court held that the lease agreements for the apartments did not confer a general right of access through the interconnecting doors, and that the hotel owner was entitled to restrict such use, except for emergency egress. Consequently, the claim was dismissed.
