Home Care franchisee secures injunction
Summary
Clemac Home Care Services, holder of a master franchise agreement for domiciliary home care across Ireland, obtained a temporary High Court injunction preventing Bluebird Care Franchises Ltd. from terminating the agreement. Bluebird claimed it intended to end the contract due to alleged misconduct by Clemac, allegations Clemac denies as baseless. Clemac argues the termination was prompted after its director, Mr Brian MacGoey, refused to sell his shares to Bluebird's American parent. The injunction bars Bluebird from taking any steps to implement the purported termination of the Master Licence Agreement dated May 2014. The High Court, on ex‑parte, granted the injunction after being satisfied that damages would not be an adequate remedy and that the balance of convenience favored the injunction. The matter is set to return next week.
